Thanks for posting a great personal story. As to your last sentence, I'd offer that Romano was simply being a total turd to an adoring kid for whatever his dubious reasons. Encumbered by luggage? Please! Just the two of you and he refused to sign? That's ridiculous. And unforgivable. FWIW, you likely weren't the first, or last that he pulled this shameful act on.

It sounds like he simply didn't sign for anyone, until he got paid for it. Then he was a happy signer. Good story.

Great post.

Don't know if you are familiar with the humorist Jack Handey who is known for his SNL Deep Thoughts, one of which was "Always carry two big sacks of something with you because then when someone asks you to give them a hand you can say, sorry, I would like to, but I have these two sacks". Maybe Handey got the idea from Romano
