Ok, I'm going off topic here but one of the best stories I heard a speaker tell was Mark 'Jacko' Jackson the infamous GayFL player who went on to star in a few music film clips (I'm an individual), become the face of Energizer Batteries, and even star in a very bad Hollywood action movie and TV series.
Approaching the height of his fame Jacko found himself in Las Vegas and lucky enough to be introduced to Frank Sinatra late one night after a show. Their combined group had a couple of drinks together and Jacko spent a fleeting few minutes talking to Sinatra.
A couple of days later Jacko was at a restaurant with some movie producers who were considering signing him for his big Hollywood break in the above mentioned film. By chance, during dinner one of the producers got a bit excited when he spied Sinatra come in and take up a table at the back of the room. Jacko claimed he was luckily facing the Sinatra table and later in the evening he excused himself to the toilet when he saw Sinatra do the same.
Once in the toilet he sidled right up next to Frank and then again struck up a conversation. As it had only been 48hrs since their first meeting Sinatra remembered the towering Aussie and agreed to do Jacko a small favour.
Jacko left the toilet and resumed his seat, taking back up the discussion of a movie role. Sinatra, well versed in greasing palms and doing favours, waited a minute or so and then made his way back to his table making sure he passed by Jackos table to 'say hello' in passing.
He approached the table, feigned suprise at seeing his 'old friend' and exclaimed something along the lines of
"Hey Jacko my Aussie friend!"
To which Jacko replied:
"Ooh Piss off Frank, can't you see I'm busy"...
