Many, if not all, of th' Four Or Five Guys© brag unpleasantly about their brushes with the rich and famous! Here, Clarence Pune, who is from Canadia, corners us with his tale of a mid-air encounter with one of the great stars of this or any other age! Can you guess who it is, subscribers? Why not hazard a guess in the lively internet forum that is the comments section?

It was [drones Clarence Pune - Ed.] a flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles. Business class because a client was paying for it. I had the window seat. A short guy like me, who looked familiar, got settled into the next seat. Smart casual duds. Tinted glasses. Expensive briefcase. No real conversation until we were up and away. When the flight attendant asked if we wanted drinks, I got a gin and tonic and he said just tonic. He asked me if I was from Vancouver. Said he liked it. His voice confirmed my 99% suspicion of who he was. But being in the creative end of advertising [there's a creative end? - Ed.] I well knew that celebs appreciate a degree of privacy, so I didn't try to confirm my hunch.

I did ask him if he was from L.A. These days, he said, but originally from Iowa. We talked about news and he turned out to be quite an avid Democrat. So, we touched on politics and he veered the conversation back to Vancouver. He'd been there to visit the many art galleries.

Anyway, it's quite a short flight to L.A. Conversation flowed easily and friendly. I didn't tell him I often lusted after his wife. Getting off the plane he said he'd enjoyed talking. I said, "Me too, my redacted friend." He laughed and gave me a little punch that I'd known all along.

Yeah. It was redacted.

Some swell story, huh gang? Maybe you imposed yourself on a showbiz or sports celebrity and want to share the tale with us?

Anyways, the game here is fill in the redacted blanks - both of them, because the first is a clue to the second! Oboy! Some fun huh gang?!
