I met Dewey Cox once.

It was in the 90s when he was already an old man. It was at the Indy 500 (he was a big racing fan). He came out of the restroom with his walker and I went up to him & asked him for his autograph. He didn't acknowledge me even though I was standing right next to him. I thought maybe he was hard of hearing (as well as smelling) so I asked him again, louder: "DEWEY, CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?" He finally looked at me & said "Get that *beep* pen outta my face before I shove it up your ass, you *beep* little *beep* I didn't know what to say as he slowly inched his way past me, dragging his feet as he leaned on his walker. Never meet your heroes.

Did some drugs with him in the 70's. I paid for the coke.

Typical Dewey. I guess it's true that he never paid for drugs.
