I heard a story from my son's girlfriend and it sounds like a "rumor." I was hoping you could give me some information.

The story is: Her father's friend was in the Acme food market and was in the check-out line behind an Arab man (I know, it already sounds like an urban legend!). The Arab man was short $2.00 and the father's friend handed the man the $2.00 towards the bill. The Arab man then followed the generous man to his car and said to him, "Thank you very much. In appreciation I would like to tell you not to drink Coke after June 3rd, 2002."
