I'm driving to the store the other day and hear the radio guy introduce this shmuck who likes to sue people. The guest was asked why was he suing a restaurant and immediately felt like he was on the show for entertainment purposes. Well duh. After his response, I knew he was right. And I praise the host for having him on. He disguised the guest's voice and asked him the question again. The man almost started crying and here I am thinking he must have been called fat or something horrible ya know? Yeah um no, not the case. Some background (from the guest):
He and his wife love the food "deeply" from this place. I wasn't aware love for food be so sincere but ok. His wife loves when he dresses as a cowboy (hat, western shirt, boots, spurs). Ok I can deal with that. He went to the men's room. He states that his wife thinks it's sexy when he comes out of the BATHROOM IN PUBLIC walking bowlegged, fingers hitched in the belt loops while whistling the theme to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Form that thought. Visualize it. That's right. Whistling, bowlegged cowboy strolling out of the public restroom. Stop laughing or the man will sue you! Stop! A couple busboys and waiters noticed he had TP stuck to his spur. They laughed. Now I don't know that they outright laughed to his face or just giggled but come on! I would have been giggling to myself. Well, he called his lawyer and she whipped up a dandy of a lawsuit and it's still pending (the 1st judge refused to hear the case but the guest has "other strategies") This is why I would rather work in a place where I'm only in contact with the public for short periods of time. When I was a cashier at my last job, I saw too much funky stuff and if I had seen it longer than the 5 or 10 minutes I was with the customer, I may have laughed or said something. I would have no job as well. The host asked the man how many lawsuits he has pending and the man said he would have to check with his lawyer on that. The host asked if it was more than 50 and the man said he was pretty sure it was more than that. He's using the legal system as the constitution intended it to be used. Um, I don't think that's what Washington and his buddies had in mind but I may have missed that day in Government class.
Guest number 2: On the way home (I can't believe this was all on the same day, much less, same show). The lady guest was saying that she gets complaints from celebrities about how people stare at them when they are in public. One caller said that celebrities are the same as us, they are no better. I agree but I digress. She said "Would you look Alec Trebek in the eye if you were his waiter?" The caller said yes because to NOT look someone in the eye while talking to them is rude. This woman said that looking him in the eye would be a "huge mistake". They don't like that it seems. Um ok, so you're famous and you go in public but you want NO ONE TO LOOK AT YOU? I think not. If it weren't for the public, you would be waiting tables as well. Another caller from West Palm Beach called in saying he deals with celebs in his real estate business and he always looks them in the eye. The woman lost her mind and said he may as well prepare to sell trailers because the celebs won't put up with that. She mentioned that in Sly Stallone's house, the standing rule is no one is to look him in the eye. The realtor said he had dealt with Sly before and he was cool, he looked him in the eye as he was talking to him and he lived to talk about it. The woman was in SHOCK! "YOU LOOKED SYLVESTER STALLONE IN THE EYE?" Yeah he did. Then she asked him what he wears to work and the guy said today he was wearing a button down shirt, jeans and cowboy boots. "That's what Stallone wears so you're imitating him, this is what I'm talking about. People copy celebs and they hate it. You're having homo erotic thoughts about him aren't you?" I almost crashed the car. Seriously. The host had to cut her off and said "Get her out of here before I drive to the (restaurant she was at) and set the place on fire". It was great. I need to go out driving more on Sun afternoons. Well, maybe sit in the car in the driveway so as not to crash the just paid off gas guzzler.
