Ten Favorite Movies and stuff

Eye Dr. the other day. N.O. duty tomorrow.

I was thinking the other day about a wrestling show I saw many years ago on TBS. This was back when we still had the WCW. It seems that Sting wanted to wrestle a bad guy, but the storyline is he wouldn't sign a contract to wrestle. It may have been Ravishing Rick Rude, but I can't remember. Anyway, Rude is in the ring to wrestle the nobody of the week when a busty girl comes in the ring, ostensibly to get his autograph, The Rude character is quite the horndog, you understand. So, he signs the paper for the girl and kisses her and gyrates his hips. A few minutes later, Sting comes up to the ring with the girl and Rude is understandibly angry and confused. This is when Sting proudly produces the "paper" Rude signed for the girl and says "have you heard of carbon copies" and waved the "contract" with Rude's carbon copy signature on it. Rude blusters something, however appearing to follow the storyline that indeed, he had been duped into signing a contract. As an attorney, I find this quite amusing. The WCW fans, of course, though that Rude had now signed a contract to wrestle when, in any jurisdiction in the civilized world, the "carbon copy" makes it as much of a contract as a fortune cookie. But, the amusement factor is there.
