DROP YOUR BAGS

From Wikipedia, via Watch Paul Rust Age Behind Glass:

“On March 24, 2004, Richard Simmons was arrested and charged with assault after allegedly slapping a motorcycle salesman at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. The salesman, Chris Farney, spotted Simmons in the crowd and said, “Look, Richard Simmons! Drop your bags, let’s rock to the ’50s.” Simmons replied, “It’s not nice to make fun of people with issues.” He then lightly slapped Farney’s face. Farney, who was uninjured, called the police. All charges against Simmons were dropped.

Truly amazing in so very many ways. Generally, though, what needs to be said is that Chris Farney of Phoenix, Arizona is a Great American. And so is Richard Simmons.
