Funny story. Last year I was at a nursing home in the Bronx to deliver some requested snack food items to one of the patients I regularly visit there. Since this was in the middle of the pandemic and no outsiders were allowed to visit patients I gave the items to one of the two security people at the front desk and asked if he could get it to the patient. The security guard hands the package to one of the nurse staff to take it up to the patient's room.
Now I know that nursing home staffs are known for stealing from patients so I decided to take a seat in the lobby across from the security desk with the intention of calling up to the patients room in short order to see that the things I brought were indeed delivered. While I'm sitting there I can see the two security guards staring at me and talking back and forth as if they were debating something. Finally one of the guards says to me "Are you Tom Coughlin?" Without immediately saying yes or no I respond back saying "Do I look like Tom Coughlin?" and then ask them "Do you think he was a good coach? So they then tell me they think he was a pretty good and I say "I think he was a pretty good coach too and we start taking a little Giants football but eventually tell them no I'm not Tom Coughlin". I then make my call up to the patient's room and confirm the items were indeed delivered.
So as I'm walking toward the door to leave I put my arm up and give them a wave good by and I say to them "the next time I'm here I'll bring you an autograph football". Then as I'm walking through the door I hear the one security guard say to the other, "I told you that was him".
So now when I go to visit my friend and either one of those security people are staffing the sign in desk I sign in as Tom Coughlin. :>)
