News, but not the serious kind
It’s Slick and Mick! What are the odds?
Welcome back to a regular feature we like to call, “What are the chances?”
Think of the odds against you going out one day and running into Bill Clinton or Mick Jagger. I’ve never come across either of them, and yet, they go to catch a soccer match and find each other.
This is almost as amazing as a couple of weeks ago, when President Barack Obama ran into Paul McCartney.
Me, I always wonder what kind of small talk these celebrities make when they are together.
“Mick Jagger! Hey, my old vinyl copy of “Sticky Fingers” is kinda scratchy. Can you get me another one?”
“I’ll try, Bill. That’s from 40 years ago, but I’ll look around my boxes of old junk in my flat. Say, this is embarrassing Bill, but I left my wallet back in the hotel. Can you lend me $20 so I can get some cheese nachos and Mountain Dew?”
“Sure Mick, but remember to send it back with the album. I’m not made of money… You know, Mick, my very favorite song is ‘Honky Tonk Woman.’ ‘Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues… I later did the same in New York City…’”
“No Bill, it goes, ‘I laid a divorcee in New York City…’”
“No way, Mick! Can you really say that on the RADIO?”

You know what really irks me? The thieving bastards at sporting events CAN charge $20 for a cheese nachos and Mountain Dew!!
I can imagine the conversation going something like this:
Mick – “Bill, did you really not have sexual relations with that girl (Ms. Lewinsky)?”
Bill – With a sheepish grin, “Mick, I have no idea of what you are saying.
-or-
Mick – “Say Bill, have you ever tried marijuana?”
Bill – With the same sheepish grin, “Actually Mick, I have. But I did not inhale!”
“Do you think we can drown out the sound of the vuvuzeelas with our winter coats?” asked Bill. “Yes, and I’ve even brought a scarf to be thorough.” answered Mick.
This is my take:
Mick: “Bill, me an’ the lads are having a party in my hotel room after the game – do you think you can ditch the ball and chain and make it over?”
Bill: “I dunno, ever since she became Secretary of State, guys who talk into their sleeves keep following me around”
Let the convo free-floweth!
