Great Memorys Of Meeting Him In Person

When my theatre professor told me he'd once met him after a college lecture, I excitedly waited for what was sure to be an exciting s5b4tory. What I got was this.
[Professor walks into a bathroom, begins using a urinal. Glances over to the next urinal and realizes it's Rod Serling. He then proceeds to stare at him for a moment or two.]
Professor: Uh, you're Rod Serling.
Serling: Yep.
Professor: Uh.
[Serling walks away, washes his hands, and exits the restroom.]
I mean, I guess it wouldn't exactly be classy to ask for an autograph at that exact moment, but still. Not that I would have been any more coherent had I got to meet Rod, myself. -

Well, at least he washed his hands after taking a pee. Do you ever notice HOW many people don't? Even after taking a dump they don't!!!

I, myself, never had the opportunity to meet him in person because he had passed before I was born. But my family is very close friends with the Serling family, so I have grown up hearing many stories of Rod from his widow, children and my family. He is one person that I wish I could have had the opportunity to meet and be around, especially during holiday season.

You are very lucky to have met hm in person. I have always considerd Rod Serling to be a genius as a writer. The premature death of this man, assisted by cigarette smoking, is one that the tobacco companies should be made to pay for, and dearly.

Thank you for telling us of your meeting Mr.Serling.
Talking about the joy he brought to the world made me want to say, he really did a lot to shape the people of my generation.
He used black actors in his show. He had stories about the south that weren't all hillbillies and missing teeth.
He wrote about justice for all entertainingly so we "got" the message.
(imagine something deep or funny here)
