Have You Met The Hulk?

My friend Garrett is doing some work with Russ and they Flew off to California together for their first business trip together. There just aren’t that many flights between RDU and CA direct so they had to fly Delta through Atlanta. While they were waiting in the gate I get an e-mail from Garrett of Russ sitting in front of Hulk Hogan. Russ looks a little oblivious to the situation, but perhaps it was because he was wearing his new reading glasses, which only let him see what is right in front of his face.

Seconds later Russ Texts me that he is with the hulk. Not so oblivious after all. It is hard not to notice a giant blond man who has looked fairly much the same dressed in the same clothes for the last thirty years.

I tell Russ to say hi for me since I had met the Hulk in about 1986 at a bar near the St. Louis Arch when I was there to be a bridesmaid in Laura Sherck’s wedding. Laura will have to verify what year that was. I have this theory that if you do any traveling at all eventually you will pass by at least fifty percent of the other world travelers in your lifetime. I can’t prove this theory, but the Hulk is a recognizable enough person to remember when you have seen him.

After my text exchange with Russ about my having met the Hulk, Russ turned around and told him the story and the Hulk denied ever having been with me, wink, wink. Then he and his larger than him bodyguard gave Russ the thumbs up and he snapped their picture.

I am wondering what kind of world we live in where the Hulk needs a bodyguard. Who is going to challenge him? He was a nice guy when I met him almost thirty years ago and I guess he still is a nice guy.

So what I want to know to help verify my theory that the world is really small and we are all chris-crossing each other all the time, have you ever met or seen the Hulk in person?
