Paul McCartney

We were staying in a Condo near San Diego, but we met some friends at the Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studios in Hollywood. We needed to get some coffee, so we stopped at Ralph's Market on Laurel Canyon on the way.

We were in the check out line behind a guy with a lot of fruit. Well, he had a certain melon that the cashier couldn't identify. This gentleman turned to us and in a clear British accent, asked us if we knew what the name of the melon was.

My wife said to him, "you're buying a piece of fruit that you don't know the name of? Have you ever eaten that kind of melon before?"

He just laughed and said, "call me adventurous."

As we were paying next, I asked the cashier if he thought the man looked familier. He popped right out with Paul McCartney. That was my thought, too.

As we were leaving, a black Caddy started to drive by us, and the back window rolled down. Paul said to us, "Thanks for the laugh" and drove off.
