Who am I?

[red dog 1]

Think about a famous person, dead or alive, and mention some little-known facts about him or her, then see if anyone can guess "who you are."


(For example)
Who Am I?
-I was born in Ohio.
- I was bullied as a kid because I was very short.
- I ran away from home many times.
- By the age of 18, I had worked at the following jobs;
- a tuna fisherman off the coast of Galveston
- itinerant crop-picker down in New Orleans
- short-order cook
- cab driver
- lithographer
- book salesman
- floorwalker in a department store
- door-to-door brush salesman

I miss Studs, too. A real mensch.
