Wilfrid, the site where I found the story "Licking the Envelope" included other incredulous tales, like one about a girl who (supposedly) had a baby octopus removed from her swelling belly after swallowing some eggs while swimming in the ocean. I included the story above as a JOKE, because I thought it lent an, um, interesting twist to Amos' Elizabethan ballad about Hillacock the cockroach. HA!
