Making Carl Bernstein chuckle
The return of Storytelling Saturday
Once upon a time...
During my days at the Vertical Club, former Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein (of Watergate fame) regularly worked out with any one-on-one trainer he could find...but supposedly never paid for this service. Although Bernstein was basically a good guy, none of the trainers ever wanted to work with him because he’d rarely talk for the entire session...unless it was to inquire about a new female gym member.
He’d often walk up to the gym floor desk and ask me if I had time to train him. Usually, I’d say: “Only if you tell me who Deep Throat is.” That never failed to make him chuckle.
Many years later, when Deep Throat’s identity became known...I wrote this article but somehow, I doubt Carl has ever read it.
P.S. Contrary to all the Watergate hype, I find this to be Bernstein’s best work.
Who else wants to spin a yarn?
The comments section awaits...

Bonus story:
On April 25, 1935, a shark on display at the Coogee Aquarium in Sydney disgorged the tattooed arm of an ex-boxer named James Smith. The man suspected of murdering him, however, was shot dead before a murder inquest could be held.
You can’t make this shit up...
