Fmr Gov Paterson waiting for his luggage at LGA after a B6 flight from PBI. Same flight as my moms
How would he know when his luggage came?

For all you know he may be on DDF ;)

Wouldn't be surprised if he is. But that doesn't mean he is a prominent member (poster).

Ok, that was awkward! I've generally very bad with names and faces, most of my extended family I don't know their names or how we're related, and that makes for many uncomfortable handshakes, but that's not the point. I just went to a park and met a guy I could have sworn I knew he was our one and only Dan, I knew his face, so reluctantly I went over and asked him "you look awfully familiar, are you Daniel Eleff?" "no... but next time I meet him I'll forward your regards, what's your name?" I said "my name is Moishel, he doesn't know me, I'm just a fan. Is this the first time someone mixes you up for him?" "Yes.... first!"

As I walked away I knew something was wrong, this guy's face is too familiar, I couldn't have been mistaken, perhaps Dan was just not interested in a pesky fan? And then it hit me, the guy I went over to was Benny Friedman... I have no idea why I would mix them up besides for them both being Chabad, and around the same age, but now I'm officially embarrassed. So Benny, if you're reading this, I'd like to apologize for the awkwardness, I hope you'll forgive me.

My question was why he brought it up. He must've been doing comedy in addition to singing.

Every music performer has little anecdotes in between songs.

Benny Friedman said this story tonight at the concert in Cleveland. now your famous ;)
I too have mixed them up, they have similar shape face, both slightly pudgy. No offence to either but just explaining the similarity
