I'm not sure whether to count this as an urban legend or a joke. It's circulating as a 'true' story. I had never seen it before. Here it is:
My hair was much too long for the hot weather so I heated myself up even more by going to one of those salons staffed by Claudia Schiffer lookalikes. I was shown to a seat by a luscious blonde. I removed my sunglasses as she put a gown over my shoulders and I started cleaning them beneath the gown. Before I could say 'short sharp crop', she screamed, "You dirty bastard!" and yanked the gown to reveal my now clean pair of sunglasses.
and one of Jan Harold Brunvand's books talks quite a bit about it (Brunvand's books are worth checking out if you want an interesting read, incidentally).
I saw a comedy skit of this joke online a while ago... in German, I think. Although it's probably based on the joke, rather than the other way 'round.

Okay, it actually took me a while to figure out this joke. I must be too pure of thought. I don't recall ever hearing it before, or any variants of it.
But it still sounds too cheesy to be real! I mean those two activities..."cleaning your glasses" and "polishing the knob" CAN'T be so similar that you'd mistake one for the other!
Although if you can confuse chicken for tuna (Jessica Simpson) I suppose anything is possible... but I still doubt it.

nah ive seen this on the internet i cant quite remember what site try looking ast some videos there are some horrible ones
Ooooook.....That Avril pic has got to go....Despite the problems Mark and I have had in the past, it is very ironic that he pics that so called "Artist" that I have disliked the most, as an avatar....I have been in the music scene for a long time and I can honestly say that no one, in any band I have been with, helped or known, has any respect for this piece of fake garbage that some how managed to weasel her way into the music scene.

He was huled out of the schoolneed less to say!
