Long ago, on election night when Clinton was elected, a good friend went down to the Old State House to be there when he came out to claim his prize. There was much revelry and the grounds were packed with all manner of people. My friend stood in the pack and talked to the man over her left shoulder about all the current trivia about the election, etc. At the end, when the crowd started to lighten up, she was finally able to turn and face the man she had been conversing with for 2 hours, she thought, "hmmm, he looks familiar..." but she didn't say anything.

They eventually went their separate ways, and shortly she ran into an acquaintance who wanted to know...what is Tom Cruise doing here and how does she know him!?

She said she really enjoyed talking to him, and it must have been fun for him, too, to talk to someone who didn't really know who he was. I don't think I would have been able to talk to him like a normal person if I had been in the same situation.
