All I had to do was look at Rodney Dangerfield and he made me laugh. My son and
I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him at the Bahia Mar (Ft
Lauderdale) swimming pool. I kept my boat there so got to know a lot what went
on behind the scenes. Rodney always stayed at the Bahia Mar Hotel whenever he
was in Ft Laudedrdale. One of the funnier stories I heard about Rodney was that
he fell down a flight of stairs in the hotel and was suing. Another story was
how he insisted on having a full size refrigerator delivered to his room,
because he preferred shopping at the Publix and eating "in" rather than going
out. The hotel personel told me he was a "big pain in the ass," but he always
got what he wanted! The one thing I never found out was if he kept a boat at
Bahia Mar.
