Mel Brooks A funny thing happened the other day...
Last weekend we bought a secondhand chest of drawers of a guy on 85th St. We thought we'd need a taxi to get it home, it was quite heavy even though we only had 10 blocks to go. So we carried it to Central Park West [with the help of a very nice weightlifting lady, who gave Carrie a helpng hand at her end - thanks whoever you are!]. We set it down and waited for a cab.
Then Mel Brooks appeared next to me with a friend, waiting to cross the road into the park! I tried to get Carrie's attention, but she was pretty oblivious. Mr. Brooks noticed me nudging Carrie and said to his friend, "hey, check out this guy saying to his lady, hey theres Mel Brooks - and I bet she says who the hell is Mel Brooks!
I said yes I was, and she probably would!
He was a nice chap. He stopped for a bit to talk to us [not very showbiz!], ask us where we were living and why we were here etc, wished us well and was on his way with his friend, whom he introduced as being the musical director of 'The Producers' stage show.
Well, what can I say ?
Should have got a picture!  ¶ 3:44 AM
