Reply to TIL In 1971, the Guinness World Records listed Clara as the "Most Indefatigable Cruise Passenger". For 14 years, she lived on RMS Caronia, which cost her $396 in daily fare. Without accounting for inflation, Cunard Line received $4 million from her in tickets. by thenerdknuckle

Reply to [TIL] Early in his career, Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, had a habit of getting into fights. He once had a shootout with a competitor, Matt Stewart. After Stewart shot and killed one of Sanders' employees, Stewart was convicted of murder, eliminating Sanders' competition. by OvidPerl
I spent a day with the Colonel in the late '70s when I was in a KFC commercial. I don't remember much other than he was very grandfatherly towards me-
I got an envelope in the mail sometime later with a picture of me and my sister with him on the set(she was also in the commercial) and a personalized autographed photo of him saying
"To (my name), My little TV Star...."
​
when I turned 16 I applied for a job at KFC as a cook- when I filled out the application it asked if I had ever worked for KFC, before-
being 16 and unsure what to answer I checked yes.
the manager knowing that you had to be 16 to work there and that I had just turned 16 was a little confused, when I explained he literally said"no fucking way". when I told him I had pictures to prove it he said "you're hired but you need to bring the pictures in and show them"
​
I did but the job sucked so I was only there about 7 months or so.
