True story. <BR/><BR/>(If you don't understand this, tell your mother, she'll get it!)<BR/> <BR/> A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New England town where<BR/><BR/>Paul Newman and his family often visited. <BR/> <BR/> One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike,<BR/><BR/>she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.<BR/> <BR/> She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight<BR/><BR/>to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor. <BR/> <BR/> There was only one other patron in the store:<BR/> Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.<BR/> <BR/> The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes. <BR/> <BR/> The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.<BR/> <BR/> Pull yourself together! She chides herself. You're a happily married woman with three children,<BR/><BR/>you're forty-five years old, not a teenager! <BR/> <BR/> The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her<BR/><BR/>change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.<BR/> <BR/> When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty. <BR/> Where's my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the<BR/><BR/>cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something! No ice cream cone was in sight.. <BR/> <BR/> With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman. <BR/><BR/>His face broke into his familiar, warm, friendly grin and he said to the woman, <BR/><BR/> <BR/>"You put it in your purse"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-33116175903707737172008-09-28T20:49:00.000-04:002008-09-28T20:49:00.000-04:00Thank God for Paul Newman.Thank God for Paul Newman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-83278822451502734602008-09-27T21:22:00.000-04:002008-09-27T21:22:00.000-04:00Thanks for new Newman's Own Organic Coffee at McDo...Thanks for new Newman's Own Organic Coffee at McDonald's....it's the best!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-46994927940754657092008-09-27T19:36:00.000-04:002008-09-27T19:36:00.000-04:00A riveting example of human compassion and kindnes...A riveting example of human compassion and kindness.
