Michael Douglas
Okay, so I am not a 'fan' but one night, when I worked on Wall Street (the career path, not the movie) I was sat in a bar called The Jet Lounge on the lower east side.

Frankly, I was drunk. But I am one of those likable drunks. I tend to be a quiet, amiable guy when in my cups (as opposed to when sober).

So I am sat there at the bar, sipping my Macallans and conversing with my buddy when the jackass next to me nailed me in the back with his elbow. I mean, it was damn near painful!

So I tapped him on the shoulder and waited for him to turn around: he turned around and it was Michael Douglas. Star of the CLASSIC film Wall Street. Gordon Gecko was his character and just about every broker I knew could recite that film word for word.

He looked at me as if I had Alaskan King Crabs crawling out of my ears. I said "Seriously. You JUST elbowed me. I'd appreciate it if you'd be more considerate of others around You."

My buddy spit out a portion of his mouthful of liquor. Had I REALLY just admonished Gordon Gecko?! Had I really just requested he be more considerate of others around him?! Cripes!

So, we return to our conversation and continue to enjoy our adult beverages. To be interrupted mere moments later by the very same elbow, into the very same back and this time, it had what we on this side of the pond term "English' on it. It was twice as painful.

A rapid tap on the shoulder later and I tell him this: "Seriously. That's twice. Let there be a third and I will be sweeping the floor with that head of yours. Don't let it happen again!"

He apologized this time and shortly after had a drink sent over. Again I tapped him on the shoulder and said "Thanks but not thanks. I am NOT your biggest fan."
