I'm not gonna say anymore, at the risk of sounding even more foolish than I already have on here. Still, it's a good story!

I'm afraid the story about the bottomless hole that a talking seal came out of might scare most of you off...

Mel's Hole


Here's the more believable part of the story...

Mel Waters manufactures a particular folk art belt buckle, with a design which incorporates a silver fork and coins depicting Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Roosevelt portrait consisting of a US dime.[citation needed] When allegedly kidnapped by the government, Mel claims his own belt buckle had been removed.

According to Mel, a number of these belt buckles included a Roosevelt Dime with a 1943 mint date, with a "B" mint mark. This is odd because there is no mint using a "B" designation, and the first Roosevelt dime was released in 1946, after Roosevelt's death in 1945.[citation needed] Mel and Art Bell have speculated that the dime came from an alternate universe where the Axis Powers won the war, with the "B" standing for "Berlin," which also implies the death of President Roosevelt prior to 1943.

Mel claims that he found ten of these 1943 Roosevelt dimes on his property in a red envelope that is commonly used to give money on Chinese New Year. A 1943 Roosevelt dime given to a friend of Mel's was allegedly confiscated by agents of the US Treasury.

In a later interview, Mel claimed the 1943 dime could not be photographed, and would even become invisible from more than fifteen feet away.[citation needed]

Well that is certainly good enuff for me! I believe!

So that's what they did with Jimmy Hoffa?!

Sounds like the B mint mark could stand for the Bullsh*t mint.
He also may have run into the elusive Purple Kush.

An interesting story anyway...

Sounds like a lot of Hocus pocus to me.

A guy in my high school told tales like that all the time. i was wondering what happened to him. His name was Eucalyptus J. Kaplan and he had a plot to kidnap the pope as he drove past our high school in 1965(?).
He was wierd. So is this.

What a load of extraneous legal matter (i.e. Bullsh_t).... and there are those that believe this garbage... they frighten me more than the storyteller... Cheers, RickO
