    Mine was OJ. He was actually sitting behind me at a basketball game. One of my friends called me during the game and said, "I can see you on TV, OJ Simpson is sitting behind you..."

    Oh, what the hell.

    1. I once had a very popular male star in a very popular youth-oriented TV show call my hotel room in Atlanta in the middle of the night and offer to do something to me that he assured me would be the best I ever had.

    2. Despite not being all that bright, I scored extremely high on my entrance exams (35 on ACT and 1580 on SAT) - to the point where I even wondered if I'd cheated. Good thing, because my grades blew (no pun intended, related to No. 1)

    3. When the Jeopardy! contestant search came to my town, I scored well enough on the test to qualify but was not chosen because Alex Trebek didn't like the way I chuckled when answering one of the questions during the audition games.

    If No. 2 is true, I want to know the context.

    Are you female?
    I think that's a fair question with regard to your first statement.

    2 is true.

    The day after he had his retirement press conference, him and Janet were at the Sprint International at Castle Pines.
    I was walking with a group of guys out to our cars, one of him kinda whispers....."Look....there's Elway"

    So, I just real politely, real quietly go up and ask him if he would sign my Titleist golf hat.

    Said "Sure thing".....as soon as someone sees Elway signing something, a throng of about 40 just engulf Elway......his wife Janet, (who is slobbering drunk at this point) starts yelling at the autograph seekers to leave them alone......on and on and on......he turns around, and tells her (quietly) mind you to "SHUT THE FUCK UP"

    A couple seconds later, a limo comes up, and whisks them all away.

    1 is also true.

    I was selling cars at the time. I get paged for a phone call, southern male voice on the other end says, "This here is Roy D. Mercer........Is this (my name)....I say "yessir"....he then says "well, then i'm fixing to come down there and whip your ass.....my wife Sharon Gene was in there looking for a Ford Taurus, and she said that all you wanted to do was show her your Probe.......slight nervous laughter......he says "How bigga boy are you anyway?".....I tell him 6'1 and 240......"well, that ain't nothing for me to whip your ass then....."

    Year or so later, a cousin of mine finally fessed up to getting me pranked.
