lol..trust me, the only reason I remember it is because he's famous. The funny thing is, I had no idea who he was till my mate told me he was an actor (this was in the taxi on the way to his place). I thought he was just some dude in a pub. He had a nice house though...and a very cute house mate.

I've seen a few famous people around town etc. but nothing too interesting to tell. Mostly newscasters and politicians.

My wife had a good one, but the story is better when spoken.

She had just boarded a plane, and stood in the aisle putting her bag away, when she heard Darth Vader behind her say "excuse me." She stepped aside to let a smiling James Earl Jones go by.

It was 1988. I was checking out with my groceries at the Stop & Shop on Harvard Avenue in Brookline, MA. I grabbed my bags and started heading for the door when out of the corner of my eye I saw that some dude was about to crash into me. He clearly wasn't looking where he was going, so I blurted out "Hey! Watch it!"

It was Michael Dukakis. He had a bag with one pint of Ben & Jerry's. He had lost the election about two days previous. I felt bad because I had voted for him and here I was being kinda rude.
