[StBernard] Paul Newman

[Westley Annis]

Got this from a lady friend of mine...




	 I don't know if it's true or not....but it sounds like something I
	would have done!!!
	
Only women of a certain era will fully appreciate this....
 
 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 into her 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 the 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 shop 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, and his face 
 broke into his familiar, warm,friendly grin as he said to the woman,
 
 "You put it in your purse."
