JUST GOT THIS E-MAIL AND IT'S TOO GOOD NOT TO SHARE:

This Restaurant owner is a hero

Only in 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 we are?" 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 59741 (406) 284-6929

The story left out one important part. The owner of the restaurant told TedTurner 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. Best Wishes to all of you, Mike Letson.
