Thought this was funny...

I was in the checkout line at a dept. store yesterday, I was wearing Khakis, workshirt, brown workboots, cream colored 8 1/4 cap. The checkout girl asked, "Are you French?" I replied, "Why, no, I'm 1938, thanks for asking."

Needless to say the poor girl had no idea what I meant, and nobody else in the general viewing area got it either, but I found it quite amusing to say the least...

LOL! The stars must have been in alignment yesterday. I went antiquing and came across a really nice Cavanaugh that begged me to buy it. Upon taking it to the cash stand, the lady looked at the hat, looked at me and asked: "Are you an actor?" Removing the hat that was upon my head, I replied: "No ma'am, I'm bald."

My wife and I just bought two of the first in a line of books from "Big Idea," "The Mess Detectives."

... The woman at the check out counter said I had a hat just like Larry The Cukecumber.

I said to my wife: "Great! Now everyone's going to think I'm dress like a veggie insteed of an action hero. THANKS!"

Bob, that's a good line! I really like that one! I'm not French, I'm 1938. Hahahahahha mind if I barrow that?

Around here some people ask if I was in a play or working on a movie. That happens a lot around here.

Tell them yes you are then walk away.
The last time someone asked if I was an actor I replied "No, I am afraid the only acting I do is silly when I am drunk."

Regards to all,

It just popped into my head with no aforethought whatsoever. Pretty witty, huh?

Just yesterday someone asked me if I was an artist (Im' assuming because of the same cap, I reckon some don't know the diff between an 8 1/4 and a beret). I used the same answer but It did not seem to have the same impact.

My wife and I went out to eat last night. As we belly up to the bar the bartender looks at me and says "Hey, you're the hat guy!" He then goes on to tell me a story about how he used to work in a hat factory when he was in college. Maybe it's because I'm in a small town and on tv that most know me as "the hat guy" rather than Indy Jones, an actor or that weird guy. I've actually got a table at a restaurant faster than others because I'm the hat guy.

A street vendor, whose featured product was a gizmo that burped out grapefruit-sized soap bubbles, stopped me as I walked to work today and said, "You look like the judge who litigated my case." (I was wearing the ensemble you see below.)

"I hope it went well," I said.

"I'm standing here before you," he replied with a grin.

As Fred Willard said "The idea is to be just famous enough that when you walk into a restaurant, the maitre d' says, "Oh, I have a nice table".
