Paul
Newman
Only women of a certain era will fully
appreciate this.... True story. (If you don't
understand this, tell your mother, she'll get
it!)
A
Michigan woman
and her family were vacationing in a small New
England town where Paul Newman and his
family often visited.
One
Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long
walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to
treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream
cone.
She hopped in the car, drove to the center of
the village and went straight to the combination
bakery/ice cream parlor.
There
was only one other patron in the store:
Paul Newman,
sitting at th e counter having a doughnut and
coffee.
The woman's heart skipped a beat as
her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue
eyes.
The
actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman
smiled demurely.
Pull yourself together! She
chides herself. You're a happily married woman with
three children, you're forty-five years old, not a
teenager!
The
clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip
chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the
other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance
in Paul Newman's direction.
When she reached her
car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her
other hand was empty.
Where's
my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the
store? Back into the sho p she went, expecting to see
the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the
counter or something! No ice cream cone was in
sight..
With
that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman.
His
face broke into his familiar, warm, friendly
grin and he said to the
woman,
'You
put it in your
purse.'
