RE: Do you remember what you were doing when...

in #story8 years ago

Absolutely, I do. I was standing outside of my girlfriend's house in the driveway. I don't remember what my girlfriend and I were doing at the time, but suddenly her mother came outside and said, "You have to come in here. O.J. Simpson is being chased down the highway by police. It's all over the news."

I come from a family of Bills fans and grew up with an autographed picture of my dad shaking O.J.'s hand on my wall, so this was a big deal. I had to explain this recently to my Japanese wife when they did an expo on TV over here. She was engrossed in the TV show and I asked if I remembered this court case. I was like, you're not even going to believe this. That man's autograph was framed and hanging in my bedroom for years.

That is unbelievable... it must have been more unbelievable to you at the time!
