oh, my gosh, that’s awesome.
I totally (heart) Walter Matthau anyway but I had never heard that anecdote.
“You totally ruined my trip to Auschwitz.”
That would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad.
isn’t that so hysterical??
I can so hear Walter Matthau’s voice telling the story. Appreciating the total absurdity of it.
Like how DARE he “ruin” her trip to a barrel-of-laughs location like Auschwitz??
Geez, and I get upset when I see people asking for autographs in restaurants or coffee shops.
Did you read the entry below the Walter Matthau one?
Cause if we at a lower level of it, and were hooked on the penis power, and this man wont even buy you some shrimp from Long John Silvers. And what. That plate what $2.99?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
HILARIOUS! I needed that today, really needed that. Thanks for serving it up-
Lisa – yes I read it … I was SHAKING with laughter … I can’t believe that’s real.
One should, as a matter of principle, expect a visit to Auschwitz to be “ruined”. Conversely, had she approached him politely at the exit he might well have been glad to give an autograph in the new context.
triticale – did you get the joke? I only ask because you’re re-stating the joke (except without the humor). Not sure if you understand that we all get the absurdity and ridiculousness of the situation – including Mr. Matthau.
