Anyone got a Bob Newhart update?

As an aging comedian, George Burns often said he's getting so old he doesn't even buy green bananas.
I ran in to George Burns when he was in Lincoln in about 79. All I had for him to sign was some fast food receipt but he gladly did it. Super nice and an attractive “nurse” looking out for him. It was in the hotel SW of the stadium. Chesterfields was the downstairs bar but I can’t remember the name of the hotel. Still have that signed receipt.

It's always refreshing to run into someone who's kind of a giant in his industry, and he/she turns out to be a really nice person, cause so many of them are just assholes.

True story that didn't happen to me, but my son was in Las Vegas playing poker and at the same table was Ben Affleck who was accompanied by J-Lo. BTW, Ben is a helluva poker player. Anyway, he wins about $ 350,000.00 and gets ready to leave and he tips the dealer a 5K chip.
J-Lo looks at him and reaches across the table, picks up the 5K tip and flips the dealer a $ 100.00 chip. I mean, come on bitch, you don't think that 5K tip wouldn't have made that dealer's week or month and its chump change for those entertainers.

We used to play a game while watching the show. Slam it down with Bob and Emily back in the 80's. When someone on the show said Bob or Emily you took a drink - If they said Hi Bob or Hi Emily you took two drinks.

Had some early nights when we played that game.

A now deceased lawyer friend of mine was a degenerate blackjack player when we visited Vegas back in the day. He would stay up most of the night and gamble way more than he could afford. He ended up playing at a table with Bill Murray late one night. Said he was a good dude.

The only guy I’ve run in to out there was Reggie Theus. Some trailer park big momma in a baggy white T-shirt was losing her mind and asking him if she could take his picture. I asked him if I could take it for her so she could be in it and he said of course. He put his arm around her like she was the hottest chick in Vegas. Made her day.

Ever been to vegas? No one reaches across the table.
 
I've been to Vegas 100 times. My brother and sister lived there for 30 years until last year.
Affleck got up to cash out and you think any house rule is gonna stop J-Lo?
Yes.

J-Lo is not even a blip on their radar.

My Brother owns 3 casinos there. This is not the 1950's anymore.

Not saying it did not happen but, her arm would have been grabbed. If she reached across the table.
 
Yes.

Let me ask my son again, SINCE HE WAS ACTUALLY THERE, and see if he has changed his story.
