The Licked Hand...

The Licked Hand, also known, or more commonly known as "Humans can lick too!" is an odd urban legend that I find greatly disturbing. There are many different versions of this particular story all over the internet, my favorite goes a little something like this...

 One night a young girl is left home alone for the first time, the family dog the only thing to keep her company while her parents are away. Feeling a bit spooked being alone she brings the dog to sleep under her bed when she gets ready to go to sleep. Later that night she wakes to the sound of dripping, *Drip, drip, drip*. She reluctantly gets out of bed and sluggishly walks to the nearest faucet, she turns its until it won't budge any farther and wanders back to bed. She lets her hand hang over the edge where her dog can lick it. She feels the dog licking her hand and goes back to sleep, but wakes up to the dripping again soon after. She crawls out of bed and turns off every faucet she can find before going back to bed. Once she's back in bed she lets her hand dangle over the edge yet again. She feels the dog licking her fingers again and falls back asleep. Again her sleep is interrupted by annoying dripping. Frustrated and tired she turns on the light and takes the time to locate the dripping. She discovers the disemboweled body of her dog hanging in the shower, the dripping was it's blood landing in noisy drops on the shower floor. She turns horrified ready to leave the bathroom when she sees a message written on the mirror in what she assumes is the dog's blood "HUMANS CAN LICK TOO!" To afraid to return to her room, she hides in bathroom with her dead dog and waits for her parents return.
