I met Ken Dodd once
not what I'd consider a 'hero' persay, but I thought he was funny enough for a dodgy old geezer. Anyway, he was doing a christmas lights opening in Crewe one year and he began to tell the old joke "what is green, has 6 legs and can kill you if it falls on you?" and looked around the audience. I was a bit high on something or other, so naturally I shouted out the answer. Ken looked straight in my direction, then teetered a bit as he tried to focus. He laughed, recovered his flow and as he was leaving the stage failed to realise he was wearing a clip-mic, so i was quite capable of hearing him mutter "Get that fat bastard out of my sight". What a twat

oh and by the way, the answer was 'snooker table' for those of you who are slightly slower at reaching a punchline than dear Ken.
