20 years ago he was hitting on a friend of mine 35 years younger than him. Gave her his number. We'd call him up occasionally, as for a woo, give him a big cheer and that's be the end of it. Now he won't answer anything from our area code. Sigh

But if he's screening those calls how will he ever get a date with your friend?

He's customer oriented. 'Oldest ride, longest line!'

The Ric Flair strut is my family’s favorite way to rub winning at absolutely anything in each other’s faces. It’s magical.

Ric Flair is pretty much a staple at a few bars here in Tampa, and not in a good way. It's kind of sad actually.

Oh, absolutely. The service workers and the customers are never thrilled to see him. There's a lot of stories floating around about his antics.
