Montana Restaurant:
This is a great story! The radio station America FM was doing one
of its "Is Anyone Listening?" bits this morning. The first question
was, "Ever have a celebrity come up with the 'Do you know who I am?'
routine?"
A woman called in and said that a few years a go, while visiting her
cattle rancher uncle in Billings, MT, she had occasion to go to
dinner at a restaurant that does not take reservations. The wait
was about 45 minutes; many ranchers and their wives were waiting.
Ted Turner and his ex-wife Jane Fonda came in the restaurant and
wanted a table. The hostess informed them that they'd have to wait
45 minutes. Jane Fonda asked the hostess, "Do you know who I am?"
The hostess answered, "Yes, but you'll have to wait 45 minutes."
Then Jane asked if the manager was in. When the manager came out,
he asked, "May I help you?" "Do you know who we are?" both Ted and
Jane asked. "Yes, but these folks have been waiting, and I can't
put you ahead of them." Then Ted asked to speak to the owner. The
owner came out, and Jane again asked, "Do you know who I am?" The
owner answered, "Yes, I do. Do you know who I am? I am the owner
of this restaurant and I am a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you
not get a table ahead of my friends and neighbors who have been
waiting here, but you also will not be eating in my restaurant
tonight or any other night. Good bye."
Only in America! Is this a great country, or what?
To all who read this, it is a true story and the name of the
steak house is:
Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse
204 W. Main
Manhattan, MT 59741
If you ever get there, give this fellow a sharp salute, buy a steak,
and tip the waitress. We should never forget
our national traitor!
