I was listening to George Hrab’s Podcast (episode #240) on my iPod while heading out to one of my familiar lunch spots in Santa Monica, CA. In this episode, George did a bit called “The History Chunk”, where he tells what happened on this particular date in history, usually in chronological order, and then makes some kind of joke about it. He mentions how in 1982, boxer Duk Koo Kim died after a bout with Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini.
Thirty seconds later I see Ray Mancini having lunch in the very restaurant I was walking into. I clandestinely snap his picture.
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
You could have knocked me over with a boxing glove!
[EDITOR: You’re lucky Ray didn’t knock you over bareknuckled for taking clandestine photos of him while he’s trying to have a nice meal. Watch your back…]
No frickin way! You should have gone over an told him this story, you might have knocked him over without a punch.
