Fonda and Turner Given a Little "What-Fer" in MT Restaurant
via webmail | 4-16-04 | Unknown

Posted on 04/16/2004 9:33:43 AM PDT by Bob J

On America FM 100.7 (A local radio station) was doing one of their "Is anyone listening" bits this morning. This first one was, "Ever have a celebrity pull the 'Do you know who I am' routine?"

A woman called in and said that a few years back, while visiting her cattle rancher uncle in Billings, MT., they had occasion to go to dinner at a restaurant that does not take reservations. The wait was about 45 minutes. Lots of other rancher types and their spouses were already waiting. In comes Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. They want a table. The hostess says they'll have to wait about 45 minutes.

Jane Fonda asks the hostess if she knows who she is. "Yes, but you'll still have to wait 45 minutes."

Then Jane says, "Is the manager in?"

The manager comes out, "May I help you?"

Do you know who I am?" ask both Jane and Ted.

"Yes, but these folks have all been waiting already and I can't put you in ahead of them."

Then Ted asks to speak to the owner The owner comes out. Jane again asks, "Do you know who I am?"

The owner says, "Yes, I do. Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant and a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not get a table ahead of all of my friends and neighbors here, but you also will not be eating in my restaurant tonight or any other night. Good bye."

Only in America, what a great country!

To all who received this email. This is a true story and the name of the steak house is Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse 204 W Main, MANHATTAN, MT The story left out one important part. The owner of the restaurant told Ted Turner that he was a Vietnam Vet and that he (Ted) would be welcome in his restaurant but Ted would have to get that bitch traitor out of his establishment because he would not serve her under any circumstances. I live part of the year in West Yellowstone, MT and eat from time to time at the Oasis.

Keep passing this on. We never forget the unprosecuted traitor! And let's not forget what "our gal" Hillary said to the troops in Iraq!!! "This war has no support from the American public" !!!!!

Bogus. This is an urban legend, thoroughly discredited on Snopes.com.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall the day this happened. That bitch should have been pelted with food.

Ted Nugent owns the restaurant? I heard it was George Carlin. At least that's what the Robin Williams Plan said.

America, What a great country!

This must be true, because here is the author of the story.

I read the Snopes.com article in the link (post 4). It does absolutely nothing to discredit this story. All it says is Jane Fonda likes to cry when she wants faster service.

Maybe it is an urban legend, but the snopes article does nothing to disprove the story. Their premise that because Jane Fonda once said if you're not getting your way, just cry, is some kind of evidence that this didn't happen is lame.

I agree, how can you use an urban legend debunk an urban legend. Not that I necessarily believe either, but if I had to chose either I like the original. LOL
