    Brush with stardom

    I just realized this is one that hasn't been done.

    Have you ever been on a call and run across an individual who was famous or notable for some reason or other?



    For example a few years ago I ran into Garth Brooks doing a call at a church his kids were attending vacation bible school at.

    When I was in my 20's I ran into MC Hammer at the airport. People swarmed all over him when they recognized who he was. He was trying to stay in disguise. I just left the poor man alone.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

    I sat beside Nick Faldo (pro Golfer) on a flight between Kuala Lumpur & Vienna in 2003. I got some great tips.
    Also live up the road from Andrew Gaze (ex NBA/NBL player).

    I did a service call a couple of years ago in a person's home on the Gold Coast. The owner was an elderly woman. All over the walls were these gold records and music photos etc. I had no idea who this woman was until a saw a family photo. She is Michael Hutchence's mother.

    Never ran across anyone famous during work, but there was this one salesman I used to work with that looked like Ron Jeremy from the waist up.
    But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

    Well, he was a really good salesman, so yeah, I would assume he isn't packing very much.

    I used to take care of a small airport in north Jersey and one day I walked in and the lady in the office said "you just missed Harrison Ford" and another time I was coming back from St. Maarten and saw Rick Ocasic from The Cars

    I think that's a pretty safe assumption to make.
