This is a question Celebrities part II

I'm never rude to anyone. Especially not the Hoff.
I went to a booksigning of his a couple of years ago in Borders on Oxford St.

Queued up with my copy of his autobiography 'Making Waves' and waited an hour and a half in line 'til I almost ready to meet the man himself.

We had to write our names on a scrap of paper so that the Hoff wouldn't actually have to converse with any of us plebs.

People would hand him the thing they want signed, along with their scrap of paper. He'd sign it. They'd leave. Sometimes they'd take a photograph.

What I noticed though - and this really riled me for some reason - is that not a single person seemed to say thank you to this great legend of our time.

So when it came to my turn, I did what I thought was right and said, quite loudly, "Thank you David".

He looked up.

Right into my eyes.

And said with a genuine smile, "You're welcome... er..." he checked the scrap of paper, "Johnny".

Yes. I was welcomed by the Hoff.

And I have a photograph to prove it:



Now, who wants to touch me?

Length? About three hundred people.
