Happened to me once. I did not know who he was in told him so. It’s possible the guy was bluffing. He claimed to be some state senator.

    I was working at a music festival, schlepping cases of beer. Some guy hit me with “I’m Gord Downie’s cousin, give me one”, I didn’t know who he was talking about, so I told him that and ignored him.

    Later, a bunch of Ontarians told me I did that in perfect deadpan. In reality, I grew up on the east coast, where the Tragically Hip wasn’t nearly as popular, so I legitimately had no clue who he was talking about.

      I mean, who gives a fuck about the cousin of a celebrity. That doesn’t get you free beer.
