I talked to royalty today!!!!!!

I called Passporter today to find out where an item was. Much to my surprise it was Mr. Marx on the end of the phone. I felt like I was talking to royalty. I love when I call the store and speak to someone special. Usually I talk to Nikki and she is great, but to talk to royalty, I was so happy.

There's a difference between collecting royalties and being royalty.

It was a pleasure to talk to you, and it's always a delight when folks are excited to meet me. Bt I've got to say, I don't feel like royalty, and with my New Jersey accent, I'm sure I don't sound like it.

Now, how do I make that wave the Queen makes?

No, I guess that's not it...

No, much too overstated...

Well, the hand motion looks about right on this next one, and I can use it to sign off.

That happened to me too!
I LOVE it when they answer the phone.
I have talked to both Mr and Mrs Marx and was such a treat!
I told them how much I love my PP! The first time, I did not know who I was talking to so when he said his name I said ..."You mean you are the Dave in the book? one of the Authors? I was so happy when I went home I told my husband Guess who I talked to in the phone today.
I just love how down to earth both of them are and helpful.
