My man vs. OJ

[joemomma]

I've written quite a few times about one of my better customers who owns several high end steak houses in the area, the latest one being in Louisville, home of the Kentucky Derby, which always brings the celebs to what used to be Hogtown, USA. Today I have the highest respect for this man. Friday night, Jeff Ruby had an unwanted guest show up at his restaurant. OJ Simpson and his girlfriend were told by Mr. Ruby that they would not be served in any of his restaurants, and escorted them to the door. If you want to see a news clip of the story, go to wlwt.com. I'm having trouble with my computer and can't seem to upload right now. Mr. Ruby also gave OJ's girlfriend some sound advice.

THE JUICE!!!!

I saw that this morning on my Road Runner home page. Although the article didn't mention Mr. Ruby saying anything about OJ's girlfriend, it did mention that after OJ left (without incident - uncharacteristic of OJ) that the rest of the patrons applauded Mr. Ruby.

I just read the article. Reads like OJ's lawyer might try to make it a racial issue.

If he does it will just be to get more free publicity for the dirt bag. Because if there was at least one other black person in the place at the time that was not asked to leave the lawyer will have a tough time proving his case. Not to mention, Mr. Ruby used to have a picture of himself with OJ on the wall... until after the trial. And if Mr. Ruby has a picture of himself with another black celebrity still on the wall, well, you get the idea.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I've actually been down in Louisville for the last 3 days on another job. The day Mr. Ruby decided that OJ was guilty, he took his pics down off the walls of his restaurants and vowed never to serve OJ again. He has hundreds of pictures of celebrities and sports figures that have eaten at his restaurants, including many blacks. Just minutes after he gave OJ the boot, Michael Jordan and a group of 30 were seated. (Boy, I'd like to see that tab.) I'm sure Jordan's pic now graces the wall of the Louisville restaurant. I've known Jeff for 20 years now, and can testify that he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. OJ's lawyer said Ruby doesn't know who he's messing with. If that lawyer goes forward with a complaint, he'll be not so pleasantly surprised when he finds out who he's messing with.
