I do want to tell you about the bed of nails and how I did my little 'world record' thing...but there is so much more stuff that needs to be brought out as a basis for why I did it and such and alot of this has to do with Batman. See, with Batman Rick at the wheel, the show never stops...but we do break for food every so often.
Speaking of food, are you hungy? Well, I was and so was Batman. So we pulled into this Perkins. Batman parks the motor home close, the show is all loaded as is my bed of nails that we used in the act. Batman Rick and I go into the Perkins and we sit down. Keep in mind it is about 2 a.m. just around the time that Perkins changes shifts...now, you might wonder what a shift change at Perkins has to do with this but just keep reading...So this waitress comes over to take our order. We order and Batman says to me "Markie, look at the waitress, she is smoking hot." I said, Doc...I sometimes call Batman "Doc" ...So I say "Doc, that girl is like 23 and you are like 35, there is no way you could score with that girl. No way so don't try it, just save it for someone you have a chance with, I'd hate to see you disappointed." I get up and go to the restroom and come back.
Well, by this time the food is placed on the table and Batman is chatting with the waitress. This girl tells Batman she is engaged and show him this ring on her hand. Batman says: "That's not a good ring you know...it looks like cubic Z...and the waitress looks down at it and kinda looks abit sad. Doc says "Look honey, you seem like a nice girl and all but that ring is as fake as as fake can be and you my dear should have better. I have a very nice ring it's worth about $10,000 I imported it from Africa and to be honest, I have no use for it. This is genuine diamond....here take a look."
Batman pulls out this ring....to this day i have no idea where he got the thing. So this girl is trying the ring on with Batman's say so...and next thing you know, this waitress and Batman are talking about him giving her the ring along with it's paperwork which he thinks he has in his motor home.
By now this girl is holding Batman's hand as he is sliding this ring on and off her finger cheching the fit....he is rubbing her back with his free hand saying: "I know you love your boyfriend but you can always sell my ring and buy your guy a very nice one or use the money for your honeymoon or whatever...this ring I think went up in value it might be worth $15,000 or more by now. So this waitress asks who we are and how Rick got so much money to buy this ring and why he is just going to give it to her...so Rick says...Well, (pointing at me) that man over there you might have seen on TV. (I smile) That's my drummer and we are on our way to do the tonight show with Johhny Carson. She bought it!
This girl takes out a pen and paper and Rick and I sign a very nice autograph for her. Rick has this girl eatting out of the palm of his hand now...he says: 'I know you love your guy but I have an idea, 30 minutes with me in the motor home, you get the ring, the paperwork and your guy never has to know about anything...just 30 minutes in my motorhome...you can sell the ring or do whatever...it's yours.'
By this time, the staff at Perkins is bringing us fresh java every 28 seconds, drinks, food, cake, pie...you name it.....me, I am still eatting my pancakes.
Away go this girl and Rick out into the motor home...I'm eatting my pancakes and drinking my hot, fresh java...and I look at my watch...one hour and a half later.
In walks Rick, Batman is tired but very happy I said, Rick, did you have the paperwork for that ring...he says, 'Yes, I am going to mail it to her." I look down and he has an address and a phone number. Oh, and she loved it when i told her that I play the guitar in your bed of nails."
Rick smiles at me and says: "Let's go, we gotta make Carson before she finds out that ring isn't worth 10 bucks."
See ya soon.
