Funny and Oh so True!

I must admit this isn’t what I normally talk about. But many things are changing and since I was caught off guard with this great story I just couldn't help but share it. This was sent to me by a friend. (Thanks Cin) You will love this one.

A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New
Only women of a certain era will fully appreciate this.... True story.
(If you don't understand this, tell your mother, she'll get it!)England town where

Paul Newman and his family often visited. One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk.
After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.

There was only one other patron in the store: Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.

The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes.
The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.
Pull yourself together! She chides herself.

You're a happily married woman with three children; you're forty-five years old, not a teenager! The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other.
Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty.
Where's my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store?
Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something! No ice cream cone was in sight... With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman.His face broke into his familiar, warm, friendly grin and he said to the woman,
'You put it in your purse.'

I must admit that I laughed and laughed at this one. And oh how true it is something like this can happen. How do I know. Let me tell you a small story of mine.

Being a look-alike is fun. As I tell everyone in interviews…it gets you great seats in restaurants.

But sometimes it gets you more.

During one of those occasions I was driving back from a television show on look-alikes. Yes I was in my full make-up as Carol Burnet; which isn’t much. I was stopped at a light and I was the only car at that light. As I waited for a pedestrian to cross the street; I felt I was being watch. You know that feeling.

As I looked up at the pedestrian I found where that feeling was coming from. He was walking directly at me smiling and staring. Directly at me was actually directly at the car. I tried to warn him but he thought I was waving at him and he smiled bigger and waved back and promptly ran into and fell on the front of my car. I have to admit I had to snicker.

I rolled down my window and asked if he was okay, and he just smiled, put his head down and kept on walking. I wanted to tell him I wasn’t her…but thought better of it as it would have made his embarrassment worse.

I get just a tiny taste of what celebrities go through and you know I do feel sorry for them from time to time. Until I talked to a real paparazzi one time….but that story is for another day.
