I was in at a checkout the other day, I had all my things on the little conveyor belt there. The man in front is staring at me, a lot. So I'm getting a little nervous and he continues to stare at me. Finally he comes over to me and I realise it's Keanu Reeves and he says:
"I apologize for staring, I don't want to be rude. It's just you look so much like my son who died, I couldn't help it'.
And he pulls out a photograph of this guy and uh, he looks absolutely nothing like me. Almost Chinese... anyway, we chat a bit and he says:
"I'm sorry. Would you mind, as I leave the supermarket, would you mind saying "Bye Dad!" to me? I know it's weird but I didn't hear my son saying "Bye dad" to me, it would mean so much to me to hear it. If you don't mind".
And I said, you know, okay, yeah, sure. I can say that."
And so, he gets his groceries bagged and as he's going out the door he waves at me and hollers across the store:
"Goodbye son!" and I wave and I say:
"Bye dad!" And then he goes, So I get my few things there, on the conveyor belt and the checker checks out my things. And he gives me the total and he says:
"That'll be four hundred and seventy nine dollars." And I said:
"Well, how is that possible! I've only got a little tuna fish, and uh some skimmed milk, and uh mustard and a loaf of bread..." He goes:
"Well, well you're also paying for the groceries for your dad, he uh, told me you'd take care of the bill for him." And I said:
"Well, wait a minute! That's not my dad, that's Keanu Reeves!" And he says:
"Well I heard him say as he left the store "Bye son!" and you said "Bye dad!" and so what are you trying to say here, uh..." I said:
"Well, JESUS!"
And I looked out into the parking lot and he was just getting into her car.
And I ran out there. And he was just closing the door, and hhe had a little bit of his leg sticking out of the door and he was pulling away and I grabbed her leg and I started PULLING it! But he drove away.
Bad dude.
