Paul Newman - Ice Cream
A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New
England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited.
One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk.
After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip
chocolate ice cream cone. She hopped in the car, drove to the center
of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream
parlor.
There was only one other patron in the store: Paul Newman, sitting
at the counter having a doughnut and coffee. The woman's heart skipped
a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes. The
actor nodded graciously and the star-struck woman smiled demurely.
Pull yourself together, she chides herself. You're a happily married
woman with three children; you're forty-five years old, not a
teenager!
The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice
cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then when she
went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.
When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of
change - but her other hand was empty. Where's my ice cream cone?
Did I leave it in the store?
Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the
clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something. But no ice
cream cone was in sight. With that, she happened to look over at
Paul Newman. His face broke into his familiar warm, friendly grin and he
said to the woman, "You put it in your purse."
