Mel Waters said on the Art Bell show
that he had a bottomless hole on his property.

He said he dropped fishing line down 80,000 feet
and still hadn’t hit bottom.

He said he pushed an old refrigerator in it and
it never hit bottom.

He claimed a neighbor threw a dead dog in
the hole and it returned alive weeks later.

Mel Waters, or whoever he was, was a great
story teller which gave his tall tale traction.

And even when he kept on embellishing it,
the tale still sounded real.

I kind of wish the tall tale had been true,
as well told and captivating as it was.
