Also, if you do a rain dance around it and have a sweetgrass smudge ceremony in the box , Jim Morrison will appear at the local Piggly Wiggly and sing "Don't you love her madly" to a woman who will be miraculously healed of her debilitating rickets.

Yes, finally someone besides me knows about the secret incantation to bring back Jim Morrison. If it's a full moon Elvis will join him for a duet.

DON'T DO IT!!! I'm serious!!!

That will generate the exact set of signals which trigger UFO's into action! They will swoop down on you in an instant and perform horrible experiments on you. Aftewards you will be dancing the Polka to RAP music, you'll eat bugs and worms and worse.

...They'll make a 'reality' show about it or put it in the Enquirer.

Trust me...
