DINNER IN MONTANA
This is one of the best thing I've read in ages!!!!! I wish I could go there for dinner!!!!
This is a great story! The radio station America FM was doing one of its "Is Anyone Listening?" bits this morning. The first question was, "Ever have a celebrity pull up with the 'Do you know who I am?' routine?"
A woman called in and said that a few years a go, while visiting her cattle rancher uncle in Billings, MT, she had occasion to go to dinner at a restaurant that does not take reservations. The wait was about 45 minutes; many ranchers and their wives were waiting. TedTurner and his ex-wife Jane Fonda came in the restaurant and wanted a table.The hostess informed them that they'd have to wait 45 minutes. Jane Fonda asked the hostess, "Do you know who I am?" The hostess answered, "Yes, but you 'll have to wait 45 minutes." Then Jane asked if the manager was in.
When the manager came out, he asked, "May I help you?""Do you know who we are?" both Ted and Jane asked. "Yes, but these folks have been waiting, and I can't put you ahead of them." Then Ted asked to speak to the owner. The owner came out, and Jane again asked,"Do you know who I am?" The owner answered, "Yes, I do. Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant and I am a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not get a table ahead of my friends and neighbors who have been waiting here, but you also will not be eating in my restaurant tonight or any night. Good bye."
Only in America- what a great country.
To all who received this e-mail, this is a true story and the name of the steak house is:
Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse, 204 W. Main, Manhattan, MT 59741(406) 284-6929
If you ever get there, give this fellow a sharp salute, buy a steak, and tip the waitress. Keep passing this on. We should never forget our national traitor!
The protesters claimed that 300 buses from 40 states made the trip. According to greyhounds web-site a motor coach can hold up to 62 persons. That puts attendance from outside of DC at around 18,000.
I remember this account of Terrible Ted and Hanoi Jane trying to bull their way to the head of the line at the steakshouse.
Were there repercussions from Ted? Threats or lawsuits from la Fonda?
Must have been, and unsuccessful, because nothing more was heard of this. Except Ted and Jane divorced soon afterward.
"You're not a man, Ted!!"
