My first assignment for an employer had me flying from ORD to LAX. My co-worker was a pro flyer and got us bumped to First Class. In the row in front of us was David Hasselhoff. In the center section was Marcus Allen (American footballer). In seat 1A was Mr. T. Wheels up he fell asleep. Wheels down he woke up.
On another flight I offered Dick Clark a magazine. He declined.
Not flight related . I was ushering some Italian clients around LA. I was using a Lincoln Towncar. In the parking lot of a grocery store we visited I saw Phil Collins heading to a car near to us. It was a BMW. As he walked by he commented on my car, Nice Car. I happened to have a mix cassette tape of his songs I had made in the car so I asked him to sign the J card. He did. Later, as usual, I thought of a great line I could have said. When he complimented the car I could have said, Well, if you work hard you could get one. 😊
