My Brush with Greatness
When I was a 21 year
old kid just out of the Marine Corps I got a job pumping gas in
Southern California.
Across the street from the gas station
was Ultra Limousines. I watched custom limo’s come and go from
there every day.
One afternoon a lady walked into the gas station asking if I could go
across the street and help her change her flat tire.
I, of course said yes and we walked
across the street and I got started. I was on the street side of
the car changing
the tire when a long white limousine pulled up right behind me.
The rear window rolled down and Sylvester Stallone
stuck his head out of the window with a giant early 90’s portable phone
in his hand and asked “You need a phone?”
Say it in your mind like Rocky would;
that’s what he sounded like.
I turned around, shook his hand, said no thank you and off his limo
went.
My Brush with greatness.
