A friend of mine challenged me to explain with just one, just a single solitary degree of separation between Jesse Ventura and Billy Crystal.
When I got this challenged, I chuckled, because it was so easy.
Any Jesse Ventura aficionado (or Billy Crystal fan, for that matter) remembers the unfortunate Ventura-Crystal-Golden Coral incident of 1996. And if you don't remember that, shame on you.
The Scene: Crystal was riffing in front of the buffet line, trying some new jokes about the popularity of denim. Ventura had just woken up from his 3-month long Odinsleep, and although he was completely charged with all kinds of Asgardian bad-assery, he was still groggy and completely starved.
Partly because Crystal wouldn't budge mid-riff, and partly because Ventura believed Crystal to be jello, Billy Crystal was swallowed whole by Jesse Ventura.
The customers of the Golden Coral are said to have expressed their unanimous approval of Ventura's sudden feeding frenzy by standing and clapping for one strait hour.
Fortunately, Jesse Ventura passed Billy Crystal just in time for Crystal to make one of the greatest comedies of all time, My Giant.
So, again, this was one of the easiest degrees of separation challenges that I've been presented with. Keep them coming!
