I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to meet a handful of famous people. Some of them were local celebrities, like newscasters. Others were more famous, like William Shatner, Bruce Campbell, or Adam West. Meeting Adam West was probably the most amusing story of the three. I was at a convention in Pittsburgh. Adam West was there with the Batmobile and to sign autographs. There was a relatively short line, and I ended up being the last one in it before Adam moved on to something else. Right before I got there to have my picture of him in his Batman costume signed, he lost his pen. We chit-chatted briefly while someone came up with another pen for him to use. While we were talking, one of the females serving as “eye candy” at the convention came up to the table to say hello to Adam. She was, without question, a very attractive, well-proportioned, and lust-inducing young lady. She wore a white, skin-tight dress that had about a five-inch gap from the collar to the waistline, held together with criss-crossing straps of fabric. Through this gap, it took no imagination at all to see what she looked like underneath that dress. Both Adam and I stopped talking and just stared at her. Adam spoke first, uttering one of the cheesiest lines I’ve ever heard (though probably better than anything I could have come up with at the time). He looked at her and said, “Well, my dear, that’s an ‘interesting’ dress you’re wearing…” He, quite understandably, forgot completely about me until they handed him a pen. He signed the photo and quickly went back to chatting up the young lady.
