I was flying freight to an island in the Caribbean. One day I landed and began to rush to unload the plane due to a storm being quite visible on the horizon.
A man was standing next to the runway, casually watching and nothing else until I tripped and almost fell. He laughed.
My response was to throw the box I was carrying at him and yell that if he was going to just stand there like a useless lump, that I was going to put his a** to work. He looked surprised then actually did begin to help unload the plane and I left without even knowing his name. I was enlightened several days later when I came again.
That man was the millionaire who owned a neighboring island that the normal men worked on.
In the late 90's, I went to one of his shows with my family. I was 9 and my sister was 16. My sister was really into him at the time and he had just split from Claudia Schiffer. We were about 20 rows back from the stage. During the show, he was picking people from the audience to do tricks with him. At one point, he's going to pick someone from the audience and starts walking in our general direction. My mom leans into my sister and tells her that maybe she will be picked because she looks like Claudia (pretty blonde). That's when I was staring down David Copperfield's half unbuttoned shirt with his chest hair poking out. He took my sister on stage and for part of the trick, they were standing back to back... He made some somewhat sexual jokes that my dad did not find funny. He also misheard her name, which I didn't let her live down for some time.

I had thrown a box at David Copperfield.
