A couple years ago, I was taking my family to California Pizza Kitchen in Encino. Walking towards the restaurant was me, my wife and three kids. Walking about 3 feet in front of us was Burt Young. I was excited to see Paulie in real life! About 5 steps after realizing who it was, Burt Young ripped the loudest, longest fart I've ever heard a human make in public. It was hideous.
After a beat, my youngest (who was about 6 at the time) said at full volume - "I THINK THAT MAN JUST FARTED!" Burt Young turned to him, smiled, and kept walking.
