It wasn’t Lake Geneva, but close, 12 miles away in fact. But I did spend a lot of time at the Lake Geneva Playboy Club so I saw my share of “Bunnies” over time. Even worked with a former Bunny at one time. Never did see Hef, though. Played those two courses a number of times.

One Friday evening I was driving home through Lake Geneva and stopped off at the Playmate Bar for a drink. Jack E. Leonard, the comedian, was appearing that weekend, and happened to be in the playmate bar at some tables, with a retinue of people. They were the only ones in the dining area. I was at the bar, but could hear everything he said, he was that loud. And obnoxious to boot. The guy was a real jerk. The bartender wasn’t appreciating it himself, and understood when I finished my drink and made a quick exit.

Now for the rest of the story. One of my buddies, who lived in Niles, IL but who’s parents also owned a summer home in my town, knew of my run-in with Jack E. Leonard. One weekend he showed up at my house with a story.

His family operated a limousine service in the Chicago area, along with other business interests, and my buddy was one of several drivers for a theater opening in Chicago. He told me about having picked up Jack E. Leonard at his hotel, taking him to the theater.

Again, Leonard was absolutely obnoxious in the vehicle and my buddy had enough of him. It was a very rainy evening, and when they arrived at the theater, he parked across the street instead of next to the theater canopy, making Leonard walk through the rain.

Just before pulling away, there was a knock on his driver’s window, and it was the limo driver for Frank Sinatra who was also arriving at the theater. My buddy rolled down his window and Sinatra’s driver handed him a $100 bill saying “Mr. Sinatra wants you to have this. He can’t stand the SOB either”.

I got a laugh out of this story for sure, but it was given real credence when, many years later I saw a TV special about Sinatra, that told of his generosity toward people. It noted he carried $100 bills on him, and would give one to an associate, to have it delivered to someone he felt had done him a good turn; a waiter, bell-boy, whoever. That just cemented my buddy’s story in my mind. Not that I had reason to doubt him.

LOL...

I actually think he was referring to the roads and bridges. . . .

psst...DUmmies, read American history... the roads were built by people who started roads... most of the famous roads in the Eastern part of the US (ie Rt 1 in Connecticut) was built by 'Turnpike Companies'.

It is obvious that he was referring to roads, bridges. . . .

So... read above DUmmies..

Obama was saying you didn't build the roads. . . .

Neither did the GOVERNMENT, DUmmies. My Taxes did...

[The Roads scholars check in.]

LOL...
