I pity the fool! (Have to say it whenever I see Mr. T)
Observe a master of the respectful touch
Lucky guy. Pretty lady and a comic book fan? Lottery winner, homie. Good for you.
I can’t imagine how many nerds used to hit on your wife.
I was working at a somewhat famous delicatessen in 1998. Mr. T once came in and was the nicest customer ever. He spoke to us like e had known the team forever. Weeks later I got injured on the job and he noticed the cast. He showed genuine concern and was super cool about everything. Definitely the nicest celebrity I’ve ever met in L.A (and I live here).
Once sat next to Mr T on a flight out of Chicago in the early 90s. I was reading the Illiad for school, and we ended up having an extensive conversation about it; and he ended up signing my copy. So yeah, Mr T is pretty nerdy himself.
I pity the fool who dont eat my cereal!
Whatever happened to him?
I saw Mr. T when I worked out at this one gym in LA… he had in the gold necklaces and everything. I was totally geeked out and :0, didn’t want to bother him. He was running on that treadmill!
“My future wife” – Tommy Wiseau
That’s her on the right?
I met Mr. T about 10 years ago. One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.
He gave me some signed items for my kids. They had no idea who he was, but after watching some A-Team on YouTube, they loved him just as much as everyone else did in the 80s.
She clearly didn’t give him no jibber jabber
That is a fantastic photo. I love the look on her face.
Special catch! My wife glazes over at the mere mention of my current or former comic book collection. And she makes me store my Mr T bobble head in my office.
That’s actually a really cool photo. He probably taught Keanu Reeves how to do the ‘respectful touch’. What’s funny to me is the difference in ear size… lol

Is she still your future wife? Just clarifying
I pity the fool who didn’t put a ring on it!
I was driving on the Dan Ryan expressway in Chicago and Mr T passed me in a Rolls Royce Corniche convertible with a B.A. Baracus air freshener hanging from his rear view mirror.
Your wife is hot.
Who is the lady on in the white shirt though
Does she still have rad hair?
I have never known what it’s called but I have ALWAYS loved that phenomenon of a woman’s hair where it swoops over their head with a bit of height, kind of like a surf wave like that. I dunno what or how it originated for me but lawdamercy.
This is just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, “I’ll go a little later, I’ll go a little later…” And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he’ll ever come back again, he said he didn’t know. Well, I’m never going to let something like that happen again!
I have never heard a negative “I met Mr. T” story. He was the special guest at my friends’ job’s workplace wellness event and when he heard some of the team in the warehouse were going to miss the meet and greet, he stayed until the end of the work day just to make sure everyone got the chance for a pic/autograph/whatever.
But the mid 90s were just 5 years ago
This isn’t old school. The mid 90s was only like 5 years ago.
I met Mr T at Networld/Interop in Atlanta. Asked for an autograph, he asked what name to use. I gave him my newborn daughter’s name. He lit up and asked about her. We talked a while off to the side. Said he loved kids and they all meant so much to him. At dinner I ran into him again, he stopped to chat. I asked for a photo, said I wanted to flex our guns. He laughed at that. Some guy nearby asked if his bling was real – T said “it’s fake, I’m no fool”. Mr T is a great dude.
OP, this is one of those “How can the Internet possibly be this small?” moments, but when I read your title I thought Hey, I was at a Mr. T signing in a comic shop in the 90s.
Anyways, I went to high school with your wife (first initial J), worked at this comic shop, and was at this signing.
Mr. T was insanely nice and had a really infectious enthusiastic energy. It was a great signing.
