Mrs. Larry Lava has met David Hasselhoff twice! The funny part is that both times I was not in the U.S. The first time I met him he was in a park in Vancover, Canada with his family. He asked us to leave him alone because of his kids so we politely walked away. The second time was at the height of that old SNL skit that always said "Germans love David Hasselhoff." Believe it or not on my flight home from Germany to LA was David H. For some reason that year security was very tight in Germany. As I went through numerous security check points I noticed that all the guards were holding 8x10 photos of him. I guess he handed them out to get through quickly. I didn't know he was on my flight until arriving in baggage claim in LA. Apparently, his luggage was specially marked to come off first and instead it came off last. He was yelling at a guard and was not happy. She was talking loudly into her walkie talkie saying, "Get Mr. Hasselhoff's luggage off now!" It was so loud that all of us noticed him and some started taking pictures. The same lady then got on the overhead speakers and said it was a federal offense to take pictures in customs and the next person who took one she would have arrested. All the flashes went away after that and soon Mr. Hasselhoff got his luggage. I never even dared to dream that it was possible I could be twice blessed with David sightings.
