Who is the most famous person you almost killed?

[jobycom]

Well, actually, I didn't play much role in this, but one of the tire stores I work for repaired a van owned by the Asylum Street Spankers, and didn't tighten the lug nuts properly, and the wheel came off on the highway and caused a wreck.

Anyone else almost sort of connected to an almost tragedy involving someone almost famous?

2. I don't know.. maybe some of the people I did kill

may have become famous had I not killed them. Or maybe they would have killed me?
Who the fuck knows?

3. Harvey Weinstein!

It was at Sundance a few years ago. I was walking out of an alley and he was walking up the street. I turned around to look to see what direction my friends went in. As I was backing up, I almost rammed right into him. He had no clue because he was on his cell. My friends saw the whole thing and laughed their asses off. Actually, if we collided, he would've killed me since he's 6-5, 250. I'm not small by any means, but he would've bowled me over for sure.

4. I had a semi-famous person almost kill me once

Bob Steel, a now deceased local radio guy in Hartford almost ran over me with his car.

5. Can't think of anyone who I almost killed

Except myself through a series of stupid accidents. My stupid accidents like not washing my hands after cleaning something dirty with some noxious chemical and then eating a piece of fruit of something or running across the street without looking both ways do not involve potential fatal harm to anyone else.
Although some to think of it, the first time I failed my drivers test, I almost ran over several people in parking lot. I don't remember any of them though.
I work in the food industry and am responsible for quality, but we've never had a recall due to illness while I've worked there.

6. I suspect most people, famous or no,

...really have no idea how close they came. :evilgrin:

7. A supreme court justice

Sandra Day O'Connor

I almost sideswiped her limo when it popped out in front of me from the USSC's underground garage.

I tires squealed and I saw her face through the tinted glass as she looked up from something she was reading.

Obviously, I was speeding.

I realized that somebody was looking out for me that day.

12. Eeeekk

that sounds pretty bad. Just don't do it now. The last thing we need is for Bush to appoint a conservative to replace a relatively moderate jurist.

[MrScorpio]

13. I was thinking about my career

For a moment, it flashed before my eyes. Plastered accross the front page of the Washington Post.

"Pentagon enlisted weenie SLAYS Supreme Court Wunderkind in stupid car accident"

Not good

11. When I was a bartender...

I "over-served" a severely inebriated Billy Idol.

[jobycom]

14. LOL-- I'll bet there aren't more than a million or so who did that!

Funny, though. I've had a day full of Billy Idol allusions, for some reason. Okay, I'm rambling again. Sorry.
