Rickles was the best. I love that story that Sinatra told about him. Rickles was at a restaurant in NYC on a date with a woman— who later became his wife of over 50 years. Sinatra was dining at the same restaurant. Rickles went over and asked Sinatra, “Hey Frank, I’m out on a date with a woman and she won’t believe I know Frank Sinatra. Can you come over and say ‘hi’?” So after Sinatra is finished eating he walks over to Rickles’ table and says, “Hey Don”. Rickles waves him off and says, “Not now Frank, can’t’ you see I’m eating?!”
That was one of the best and one I was going to post when I got through the replies - glad I waited. You did a better job than I would have....
