I WON A SMALL BUSINESS ADVOCATE AWARD FROM NORTH AMERICAN BANKING.
THE PRIZE PUT MY COMPANY’S NAME IN THE RING OF HONOR AT HUNTINGTON BANK STADIUM THIS SEASON FOR UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA FOOTBALL GAMES.
SHELETTAMAKESMELAUGH.COM, UP THERE WITH THE "OTHER" BIG-TIME CORPORATIONS LIKE CHICK-FIL-A AND COCA-COLA.
THAT’S A BIG DEAL.
SO MUCH SO THAT MY FRIEND AND "ALMANAC" POLITICAL ANALYST BRIAN MCDANIEL TOOK THIS SELFIE.
I WASN’T GONNA LET HIM HAVE ALL THE FUN, SO I BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE NEXT HOME GAME.
I WANTED TO GET MY PHOTO WITHOUT BRIAN’S BIG OLD HEAD IN THE WAY.
BUT AT THE STADIUM, THE FIRST THING I SPOTTED WASN’T MY SIGN, IT WAS THE CHEERLEADERS.
TOOK ME BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN I WAS ON THE SQUAD.
HONEY, THEY SAW ME STARING AT THEM AND INVITED ME OVER.
I DECIDED THIS WAS MY OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THESE YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPERS THAT I CAN STILL DO A SPLIT.
OH, DON'T START LAUGHING.
I USED TO BE FAMOUS FOR MY SPLITS.
BUT THEN I GOT TO THINKING.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I DID SPLIT?
I THINK IT MUST HAVE BEEN 1990.
WHEN GEORGE BUSH WAS PRESIDENT, BIG DADDY BUSH, THE ORIGINAL, O.G., AND YOU COULDN'T TOUCH M.C.
HAMMER, AND BY THE WAY, MORGAN FREEMAN WAS DRIVING MISS DAISY.
THAT'S NOT TOO LONG AGO, RIGHT?
IT’S NOT LIKE I HAVE A DIFFERENT BODY.
IF I COULD DO IT THEN, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT NOW.
I MEAN, HONESTLY, WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
[ Cheers and applause ] YEAH.
I DID THAT.
IN PUBLIC.
IN FRONT OF A CROWD!
LORD, I HOPE THEY DON'T ASK ME TO GIVE MY AWARD BACK AFTER ALL THIS.
TURNS OUT I’M NOT "JUST" A GOLDEN GOPHER.
I’M A GOLDEN OLDIE.
WHOO!
