Is He Really a World Champion?

Eastgate: Much More Camera-shy than Movie Star
Eastgate: Much More Camera-shy than Movie Star
First amusing conversation instigated by Neil Channing: The masseuse currently working the knots from Peter Eastgate has apparently been in a movie just released recently (I don't know which one). Channing decided to tell the table they had a famous film star working on their tense necks, and duly embarrassed her into admitting that this was true. He then asked her if she knew she was massaging a World Champion of Poker. It appeared not.

"Are you really?" she asked, sounding sceptical.

He nodded.

"Who's more famous then," he continued, "You or him?"

"In this environment, it's probably him."
