<p>This is another favorite with friends. They like when i tell this story, so I decided to share with everyone. This happened when Bill Clinton first became president. For some reason he wanted to come to a Fresh Meadows dinner named "The Future Dinner" and have a burger. At that time I was working for the movie theater that is right next door. We werent aloud to open until President Clinton left the future dinner, so my boss asked me to come in early to set everything up to open. So the whole morning secret service is coming in and out of the theater, going up on the roof tops and just making sure everything is secure. I got done setting up to open and had some free time so I went up to the lobby to see if I can get a glimps at Bill Clinton. Now the whole block from the movie theater lobby to the other side of the parking lot was completely closed off. Nobody was aloud to be there. Just keep that in mind. So I'm standing in the lobby watching as Bill Clinton is leaving the Future Dinner. I can see him shaking hands with David Dinkins (NYC Mayor at the time) and a few other important looking people. Then out of nowhere I see my manager shaking Bill Clintons hand. I think to myself..."I want to shake Bill Clintons hand!" So I throw open the lobby door and start running like a complete dumb ass right for the president of the United States. Now remember this area from my lobby to the other side of the parking area is completely closed to the public. But I dont care I'm going to shake Bill Clintons hand! I get maybe 30 feet from Mr Clinton when BAM!!!! The biggest blackest man I've ever seen in a suit just knocks me on my ass! He then lifts me...LIFTS ME with one hand and tells me not to move. Thinking back I must have had like 5 snipers aiming at my head! So I'm standing there I cant breath because this huge wall of a man just knocked the wind out of me, upset I didnt get to meet Bill Clinton because by this time he already got into his car. I'm sure he saw what happened to me because as his car turned to leave down Horace Harding Expressway he looks right at me and gives me the famous Bill Clinton thumbs up! </p><p><img height="240" src="http://snl-ibc.jt.org/clinton5.jpg" width="304" border="0" /></p><p>That alone made it all worth wild.</p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/artemisentreri/rfsig4.gif" border="0" /><br /><strong>Dimebag Darryl Abbott<br />1966 - 2004</strong><br />Be <a href="http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=5937599&Mytoken=20050118170538">MySpace</a> friend.
