***** What could be better to start off with than Steve all time
classic Bronson story. This one will live forever out there in LaLla Land. *GRIN* When Bronson first moved to Vermont, I was working in a sporting goods store. He came in and wanted to buy a 'resident' hunting license. I refused to sell him one because he hadn't been a resident long enough to qualify, (6 months needed) and didn't have the required ID (a Vermont State ID or Driver's License.) I offered to sell him a 'non-resident' license but he refused. That license was much more expensive, of course, and as he had just purchased his Vermont home that month, (it was in all the newspapers,) 'he felt' that he was entitled to resident status. He went to another shop, bought a resident license, got nabbed by Fish and Game (who in Vermont, check the registers often,) to the tune of $5000 and loss of license. He blamed me for turning him in, (he was simply too stupid to realize that someone of his fame can't NOT get away with anything in a small 'town' like Vermont!) came back to my store and started a fist fight, not just a shouting match. Bronson was a scrappy son of a gun, but small, standing about 5'5" or so, and powerfully built. But in those days I was about 24 years old, teaching Kung-fu every night and fighting in tournaments on weekends. I stopped his attack, and delivered him out to the sidewalk. He came back the next day and started again. I put him outside again, telling him that if he tried again, I would call the police and have him charged with assault. He never returned to that store. A year later I was hired away by another shop to manage the camping, scuba, and mountaineering side of their business. Bronson came in with some friends, recognized me and started mouthing off (only) again. I ignored it. Then he demanded to be shown a spear gun, telling his friends that they would use it to spear trout in the river behind his house for dinner that night. I refused to sell him one, as spear fishing for trout is illegal in Vermont. He got huffy, and demanded to see the owner. I brought out the owner, who at first was delighted to have such a star in his shop, but quickly changed his tune after listening to the man. Bronson 'insisted' that I be fired on the spot. The owner turned to me and said "OK, your fired. But first throw this idiot out of my store! Then go get us some lunch. I'm hungry." I did both. Neither Bronson, nor his friends, ever returned to that shop. I continued to work there until I began my own business two years later. |

It's still 5 days till the 8th, > dip shit.- ***** No need to get nasty Chemo, wiping rec.cooking off your replies are going to get you into trouble. Be advised and act accordingly. Look forward to seeing you on the 8th. I hope you paid for a ticket this time. Sneaking in without paying is very naughty you know. |
