When I was living in Studio City, CA I would on occasion splurge and treat myself to a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cone. My favorite flavor was always Pralines'n'Cream.
One extremely hot day I stopped in at the local ice cream store to indulge. The store was empty, except for a rather large gentleman and a very young girl working behind the counter. As I waited for my turn I heard a very distinctive voice next to me asking "how much do I owe you". I turned and standing right next to me was none other then Marlon Brando! (he had even ordered my favorite flavor, Pralines'n'Cream)
He fini
shed his transaction and left. I asked the gal if she knew who that was that had just left. She didn't, so I told her it was Marlon Brando! Her reply was, "who's that?" I thought about this for quite a few seconds (I couldn't believe she didn't know who the iconic Marlon Brando was) I looked at her and said, "Superman's Dad?"
"Oh yeah", she replied unenthusiastically. She was very young.
"Oh yeah", she replied unenthusiastically. She was very young.

HA! Talk about feeling old. It's like kids who think they've discovered the Beatles! Good one, Jan.
