When Joe had the McDonalds drag racing teams years ago, I was working at one of the races. He had four tractor trailers for the team parked to form a large rectangle in between the rigs. In the middle was a covered cafeteria, relaxation area for drivers, crews, and VIP's.
I rolled over to the entrance, whereby a security guy gave me a "move and I'll shank you" look.
I cooled up, and responded "Joe here yet" ? He gave me that vacant rent-a-cop look. "he asked me to meet him here at............yeeesss, 2. "If he was not here, to make myself at home and wait, as he had not seen his favorite nephew in years".
All was damn near in the bag until somebody WITH a brain calmly explained, that he thought my story was BS, and if it was, I would be making myself at home in the Houston lockup for the night.
I was pissed for a while..............what the hell? I forgive you Joe!
However, still not happy about that Christmas card thing........
