THIS IS A HOAX!!! =20
Sorry for shouting . . . This is a hoax.

These things are SO easy to check before posting online. Go to
www.snopes.com, and type in a description of the incident. Bingo.
I am submitting this humbly because just recently, I got duped and posted
and was SOOOOO embarrassed. It can happen to anyone. BUT, if it's something
that should be posted immediately to save others from harm . . . It's
probably spam.
YMMV
