So, a co-worker of my husband told him her husband was in an elevator with Barry yesterday!

Her husband works in the garment district (in NYC).

Wonder if Barry was Harmony costume shopping?

The guy asked Barry if he was "Barry" and it was confirmed.

Don't know what I'd do if I ever stepped into an elevator with Barry. Probably mutter some gibberish and walk away pissed at myself. I'm so pathetic.

Hmmm ... Got some time before AI announces the winner... So, off the top, here's the top ten things I might say if I were on an elevator with Barry ...

10. "Damn, Clay, when did you get so old?"

9. "Hey Barry, congratulations on not turning 67 this year."

8. "I'm sorry, Barry, but I can't 'go away' until the door opens."

7. "Wouldn't it be hilarious if we broke down and ran out of air?"

6. "It's a long way up, isn't it?"

5. "You're just too good to be true. And...I can't take my eyes off of you."

4. "So, Barry, quick, are you ever bringing your show back to Alaska? Ha ha, just kidding, I'm not from there."

3. "Love your emails! (Did you think I didn't know?)"

2. "EEEK, squeal, can I have a kiss?" ("Oh stop weeping, ya big baby, I'm just kidding!")

And number one ...

1. "Thank you, Barry." (Because, after all these years, that pretty much sums it up.)

:-)

Good night, everybody ...

Your first line reminded me of that old song "I danced with a man who danced with a girl who danced with the Prince of Wales"!

Love "it's a long way up." Made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the chuckle today!

Thank you. Glad I can still make some of you laugh.

So Barry was in NY on the 16th and due in Texas on the 17th? No wonder he gets ill.

You know,

These folks ... Barry, Garry, everybody in that circle, apparently ...routinely jump on planes the way some of us ride the bus.

And planes are really unhealthy. I don't care if the rich can go first class ... they have to breath the same filthy air the coach passengers inhale.

A 30 year old might get away with it... For awhile. But you do reach an age where you can't get away with anything. Apparently some people haven't figured that out yet.

For Barry's sake ... and Garry's sake, while I'm at it ... I hope they get a clue soon. I'd hate to see vanity or stupidity kill either one.

Besides the germs that float around in the air, think about the plane itself and the people that were on it before you. They don't sterililze those planes after each flight. They just clean up the trash.

People are disgusting. It doesn't matter if they are first class or coach. I can only imagine what they'd find if they did one of those swabs.

We don't always have the luxury of soap and water being handy. Those gel anti-bacterials are crap. You could never convince me they are better than nothing. I have never used them, my kids don't use them and we are rarely sick. It's only soap and water.

With the amount of commuting Barry does and the number of people he comes into physical contact with, he is bound to be sick more than the average person. He pushes himself to the max and he pays for it.

I wish him a speedy recovery.
