Well, I, at least, thought this story was pretty funny:
My parents both work where I went to high school (Dad's been there since the 70's, mom since I was a little kid), and while they both have varying duties, something they do together is direct the school's stage productions, a drama in the fall, a musical in the spring.
Anyway, their shows, compared to what you usually see in high school, are top notch. They're very actor-friendly, they both have good artistic visions/directions, etc., so, believe it or not, some interesting names have come through their theater department.
For example, Ted Leo, of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and his little brothers (who, ironically, played Jesus and Judas in their production of Jesus Christ Superstar).
Also, Anne Hathaway, who played a wood-nymph when they did Camelot, back when she was only 14 (and, yes, she was cute then, too).
Now, they just put on their production of Godspell this past weekend, and while the famous person wasn't IN the show (kinda hard for a high schooler to be famous), the girl's father was in attendence at least one night.
See, I open up the program, look through the names, and notice something among the main group of girls: I won't say her first name (privacy), but her last name?
PETINGILL.
You read that right: the daughter of the host of WPLJ's "Saturday Night at the 80's" and WWF Mania, and Wrestlecrap's very own inductee, Todd Petingill.
Frankly, I can't think of a higher honor at this moment than even being associated with such greatness.
