The radio station America FM was doing one of its 'Is
Anyone Listening?' bits one morning.
The first question was: 'Ever have a celebrity come up with 'Do you
know who I am?' A woman called in and
said that a few years ago, while visiting her cattle rancher uncle in Billings,
MT, she had occasion to go to dinner at a restaurant that does not take
reservations. The wait was about 45
minutes; many local ranchers and their wives were waiting.
Ted Turner and his ex-wife Jane Fonda came in the
restaurant and wanted a table. The hostess informed them that they'd have to
wait 45 minutes. Jane Fonda asked the
hostess, 'Do you know who I am?’ The hostess answered, 'Yes, but you'll have to
wait 45 minutes.'
Then Jane asked if the manager was in. When the manager
came out, he asked 'May I help you?'. 'Do
you know who we are?' both Ted and Jane asked.
Yes, but these folks have been waiting, and I can't put
you ahead of them.' Then Ted asked to
speak to the owner. The owner came out, and Jane again asked, 'Do you know who
I am?'
The owner answered, 'Yes, I do. Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant and I am a
Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not
get a table ahead of my friends and neighbors who have been patiently waiting
here, but you also will not be eating in my restaurant tonight or any other
night. Good bye.'
This is probably an e-rumor... but it just made my day!
I wish.....
