Wait! Don’t tell me!
While in Vegas, Denis and I had dinner at a nice Italian restaurant in Summerlin. Our waitress (is that PC? maybe it’s “server” but she didn’t serve the food, somebody else did…anyway…her name was Michelle) was very nice but she was looking at me kind of funny. It wasn’t my first time being looked at funny but she finally said, “I don’t mean to stare but you look so familiar. Are you on TV?” I said that I had been on TV and she jumped in and said, “Wait! Don’t tell me! Are you on the news?” No. “Wait, wait! Don’t tell me, are you an actress?” No. This went on until our soup got cold so I decided to give her a hint. My hint was ‘daytime television.’ She stared even harder, trying hard to figure out who I was. “Don’t tell me, I know this,” she said. My hair was in a pony tail so I told her I had shoulder length, blond hair. Our staring contest continued. Finally I said, “I’ll just tell you I’m…” “No, don’t tell me – give me another hint.” Okay, I told her my first and last name start with the same letter – that should do it. Nothing. I was getting hungry so I told her those letters were ‘J.’ She had to get it now. Still nothing. Desperation finally set in and she called the hostess over, saying, “Do you know who this is?” “Sure,” she said, “it’s Jenny Jones.” Michelle almost dropped her bread basket! She was so excited and said she was a huge fan and watched my show all the time. Have I changed that much? I’m waiting for the day I’m asked the same question: “Were you on TV?” “Yes, I was. I’m Jenny Jones.” “No, you’re not.”
Jenny… Great story! I have been in the same situation “Brain freeze? 🙂 I miss You & watched You all the time. Hope to see Ya again.. Luv Ya !!
Jenny, I kinda feel bad for her, but she should’ve got it with the same letters of your first and last name and you told her what letter. I think I feel worse with you having cold soup for dinner…
She was probably too nervous to even believe it was you. It seems she was so nervous she couldn’t think straight…lol…
Take care,

How cool!!!! Do you get a lot of attention when you go out? Was your soup still warm enough to eat? LoL
