Who is the most famous person you've ever met?

[Shampoobra]

103. Rick Santorum

I had a summer place next door to Rick's in the Pocono Mountains a few years back. I avoided him at first, because I was torn between my desire to be a good neighbor, and my desire to tell him what I thought of him.

One day he flagged me down as I pulled into my driveway, and I was stuck talking to him. He introduced himself, and I was surprised at what a friendly, easygoing guy he is when he's not on stage.

He invited me to a party he was having that night, and I was still trying to be neighborly, so I didn't immediately refuse.

"I have to warn you, though," Rick said. "There will be a lot of booze, and that usually ends in a lot of fighting."

I said I thought I could handle myself in a fight. I didn't want Rick to think I was less of a man than he.

"Oh," he added, "and there's usually some sex at these things, too. I hope that's not too offensive for you."

I told him it definitely sounded interesting, and asked him what I should wear.

"It won't really matter what you wear," he said. "It's just going to be the two of us."
