Check out the thread from a couple o' weeks ago titled "The Ballad Of Ramblin' Jack". Weve been talking about the film and Jack in general quite a lot lately here at Mudcat.

Several different takes on Mr. E. are contained therein. Jack's legend is growing as we write this stuff here. Situations like you just described add to it and add to it and... Folklore, like history does not always lie. But it do have a way o' turning into a tall tale pretty durn qick, by crackie.
