I got a funny Bernie Mac story.
So the day Bernie Mac died just so happened to be my buddy's girlfriend's birthday. So we take her out to LA to The Laugh Factory, because Dane Cook is doing stand up and she has a crazy obsession with him. The Marquee at The Laugh Factory read "Bernie Mac, he will be missed" or something like that. So we get to our seats, waiting for the first act to come out (Harland Williams who was fucking hillarious). There is this huge black guy sitting next to me. And we're ordering our drinks and such and I start talking to him. He says,
"Man I'm so excited to see Bernie Mac, he's my favorite comedian, I've never seen him before."
So I'm like "Dude, Bernie Mac died today, this is Dane Cook." This guy thinks I'm fucking with him, he's like "No way man, I saw Bernie Mac on the marquee outside." So I'm like "Dude, it says RIP Bernie Mac or something, like a little tribute to him, he died earlier today."
This guy was crushed, seriously seemed so upset. He said he was going to go ask the ticket desk and make sure, and then he just didn't come back.
