This thread was bumped by a teenager on summer vacation, who has been dealt with. Since apparently one or two of you have urinated in the presence of greatness in the last decade, I’ll leave it open.

Since this zombie has been revived, it seems like a good place for this joke.

John Wayne was having dinner at his favorite restaurant when a distinguished looking man approaches him and introduces himself as a local physician. “Mr. Wayne,” said the doctor, “you have been a hero to me for so many years. It is such a privilege to shake your hand.”

“Thanks, Doc,” Wayne responded with his famous grin.

The doctor then bent over and said quietly into Wayne’s ear, “Mr. Wayne, as a physician I couldn’t help noticing that when you went to the men’s room a while ago, you came out with your pants leg wet. Mr. Wayne, I really am a fairly prominent physician here in Balboa, and if you have any medical situation, it would an honor for me to treat you at no expense.”

Wayne stood up, towering over the doctor. “Well, Doc, you see, it happens every time. I’m standin’ there at the urinal and this feller comes and stands next to me. Then he looks up, turns in my direction, and says, ‘You’re John Wayne!’”

When I worked for Live Nation, all the time.

People like Sting and Billy Joel tended to go from their tour bus straight to the stage then right back on the bus the minute the show ended, but other artists and band members would often hang out backstage with the crew and promotion staff.

Not a guy either, but . . .

I once stood in line in an overcrowded ladies’ room with Whoopi Goldberg. The line was long and both Whoopi and I were jiggling.

We were at one of those small-venue nightclub concerts that Prince was (still is?) in the habit of doing. It was right after the American Music Awards in the late 80s, and the club was filled with celebrities who had driven right over after the awards to see the hottest ticket in town. That was a great night out.

Go to about the seven minute mark [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQdGaXBErzs) to hear Judy Greer ( crazy Cheryl on Archer ) discuss actresses she has peed next to and who she would _want_ to pee next to. Exciting!

Well, not at all really…but for some reason this thread reminded me of that clip :D.

Several years ago, my wife and I went to a Van Halen concert at the American Airlines center in Dallas. After the show, I headed to the men’s room while my lovely bride waited patiently on the concourse outside. The restroom was crowded, but I waited my turn, conducted my business, and washed up. I left the room with a crowd of other guys. When I rejoined my wife, she said, “Oh my God, that was Bowling For Soup!” Yes, I peed next to a One Hit Wonder band.

Close.

I was standing in line for the men’s room in Studio 54, and this funny little guy in front of me started chatting. I have no memory of what we chatted about . . . and it never occurred to me that he was famous. And if nothing else, I should have ID’d his voice. Later, my partner asked me, “So what were you talking about with Truman Capote?”

And I’ve mentioned this in other threads. I once accidentally walked in on Alan Greenspan in the bathroom in Ayn Rand’s apartment. He was on the toilet, in the dark, with the door ajar. Thinking it was unoccupied, I walked in and turned on the light. He said, “I don’t care whether you’re in or out, but please close the door.” I backed out, turned out the light, and left the door ajar, the way I had found it.

What do you think he was thinking, being in there that way? Could he have been, I dunno, passively open to a sexual encounter? You portray it as an accident - from your POV, it certainly was - but what the heck was he doing?

From what I have read, some weird stuff was going on around Ayn Rand - talk about a cult of personality…

I read Heston’s autobiography _In the Arena_. He spoke of when he had prostate surgery, and the little poem he wrote for his wife, on the post-surgical appearance of his equipment. _“I never saw a purple cock/ I never thought there’d be one./ But think of this, to ease the shock/ Be glad it’s not a wee one.”_

I know I’ve told this story before, but I don’ t see it in this zombie thread. (That means there has been more than one celebrity peeing thread :eek:) I went to see Patrick Stewart do his one-man version of A Christmas Carol at Caltech. During intermission, I took the only empty urinal, which turned out to be next to Next Generation recurring guest star John de Lancie. Back at my seat I got to tell my girlfriend “I took a P with Q!”

Close, but not quite: On the California AIDS ride, I used a port-a-potty immediately after Greg Louganis had vacated it.

California’s Least Popular Theme Park!  
I’ve peed with at least three legit celebrities: **John Cusack** (Cubs Game), **Jeffrey Tambor** (after a movie screening), and **Michael Shannon** (at a dive bar in Chicago).

Nicholas Brendon, best known as Xander from _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_, at Dragon-Con in Atlanta. Nothing particularly memorable to impart, but, did shoulder-to-shoulder pee with him.
