Apparently only women of a certain era will fully appreciate this true
story. If you don't understand this, tell your mother, she'll get it.
A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New
England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited. One Sunday
morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk
five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate
ice cream cone. She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the
village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.
There was only one other patron in the store: Paul Newman, sitting at
the counter having a doughnut and coffee.
The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those
famous baby-blue eyes. The actor nodded graciously and the star-struck
woman smiled demurely. Pull yourself together! She chides herself.
You're a happily married woman with three children, you're forty-five
years old, not a teenager! The clerk filled her order and she took the
double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the
other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul
Newman's direction.
When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of
change but her other hand was empty. Where's my ice cream cone? Did I
leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the
cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or
something. No ice cream cone was in sight. With that, she happened to
look over at Paul Newman. His face broke into his familiar, warm,
friendly grin and he said to the woman, "You put it in your purse."

Having seen him up close and in person, I believe that this really happened.
I'm reasonably sure I might have done exactly the same thing.
