"My Dear Hart" LOL...Now that's funny. "My Dear Hart" LOL Wyatt Earp actually wrote a letter to Hollywood cowboy actor William S. Hart. Can anybody say man crush? Or even fanboy? I've got a funny story for ya that reminds me of all the episodes from "The Simpsons" where Bart pranks Moe over the phone. It's called, "Prank Calls At Charlie's Bar". Over the years, a man by the name of Charlie Glenn has owned "Charlie's Bar" in Sacramento. And there's this one guy who keeps prank calling Charlie and it never ends. The first prank call Howie Simmons ever made to Charlie's Bar was in 1969. Howie was in Vietnam and by a stroke of luck was able to hotwire his phone so he could get access to Charlie's Bar back home. His first prank call went like this. "Hey, Charlie, this is Howie. Can I get a large pizza for one I. Lava You?" Charlie would say over the phone, "Hey guys, one large pizza for I. Lava You. Hey, is there an I. Lava You in the building? Does anyone know I. Lava You?" Then Howie would laugh. Charlie would scream over the phone, "You rotten bastard! When you come back from Nam, I'm gonna break your neck!" The next prank call Howie made was in 1972. This time, Howie was in Chicago and just HAD to do it. He had to prank call Charlie. So he picked up the phone and said this. "Yeah, Charlie, this is Howie. I'd like to order a large pizza for Ivana Killer." Charlie would then say over the phone, "Hey guys, a large pizza for Ivana Killer. Do we have an Ivana Killer in the house? Does anyone know Ivana Killer?" Then Howie would laugh as usual. Charlie would facepalm himself and then say, "Howie Simmons, you rat! If I ever catch you on the street, I'm gonna kick your ass!" Then Howie would be like, "Oooh, I'm so scared." Then he would hang up. Then one day, our good buddy Tom Correa, (Sorry Tom, just HAD to throw you in there), visits Charlie in Sacramento in 1975. He brings his monkey, Henry. (Sorry Henry, you're in this too). They have heard all about Charlie's bar but have never actually been there until now. I'm over at the jukebox listening to "Convoy" by C.W. McCall. (Sorry, just had to include myself for some reason). Then it, happens. Howie's familiar voice comes over the phone and THIS is what we hear. "Hello Charlie? Yeah, I'd like a large pizza for one Hugh Jass?" Charlie shakes his head then says, "Hey guys, Is there a Hugh Jass in the house? Hey fellas, do I have a Hugh Jass? Does anyone know about a Hugh Jass?" Then I say, "It's him again, ain't it?" Charlie says, "Yeah. He does this ALL the damn time!" Charlie then says over the phone, "If I ever get the address for where you are, I'm gonna take that phone and shove it down your throat!" Howie then says, "Can't. You don't know where I am." Unbeknownst to Charlie, Howie was in Las Vegas with his wife and wouldn't be back until the following week. Then it happened again. In 1983, Howie decided to try it again. "Hey Charlie, can I get a large pizza for one Ima Stoner?" Charlie then said, "Hey guys, is there an Ima Stoner in this place? Does anyone know Ima Stoner? Do we know Ima Stoner?" Then Howie would laugh and hang up. Charlie would then say, "Howie, you bastard! I'm gonna crack your skull!" That time, Howie was in Mexico. Then something different happens. Howie prank calls ME. My imaginary wife answers, (I say IMAGINARY because I'm not really married), and says it's for ME. I answer and ask, "Who the Hell is this?" Howie says, "Is this Benny?" I say, "Yes, it is. Now what do ya want?" Howie says, "Is your refrigerator running?" And like an idiot often does during these prank calls, I say "Yes." Then Howie screams, "Well then, ya better go catch it!" I get mad and I yell, "I'll catch YOU, ya sorry weasel!" Some nerve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
