That wasn't Elvis! That was Andy Kaufmann! But it was Marilyn Monroe; I saw her lipstick on the straw.

Speaking of conspiracy theories and Andy Kaufmann, I had to consult once with the head of the Pentagon Photographic Center, which was then at Bolling AFB on the Anacostia River. The fellow was showing me around and we came to an enormous studio/sound stage and I remarked it was the largest I had ever seen. The guy said, "Yeah; this is where we faked the moon landing."

I spun around and said, "WHAT?!?!?" And he laughed and said, "I just read in one of those conspiracy books that the landing was faked here. I was here back then and I never saw this stage used for that. But this stage would be big enough!"

Later he showed me the film lab where he said JFK's autopsy photos had been processed and I said, "Is that true or another of your conspiracy stories?"

He said, "No; that is true!"
