Million Dollar Man tells a classic story from his time on the road with Andre the Giant:
"…The funniest story is, we were going to Japan. It is a fourteen hour
flight from Atlanta, or New York, or Dallas, just about anywhere, to
japan. Andre is sitting in first class, and Andre sitting in first class
is like me sitting in coach now, you know, you're jammed in the seat,
you're not comfortable. So, we get off the plane and now it's another
hour into the city, we check into the hotel and we drop our bags and we
are going to go get something to eat. So, I push the button on the
elevator and there is Andre, ‘Hey boss, let's go eat' and so as it
starts down, it seems that this elevator stops on every floor and people
just keep getting on. Japan is a very small country, with a lot of
people, so what you and I would consider a full elevator, not over
there. One thing about the Giant is he doesn't like to be crowded, and
he has just been on a fourteen hour flight, crammed in a little seat in a
plane, and now he is in a Japanese hotel in a room that is by our
standard normal, but in his standard not, and now, he is in an elevator
and people keep getting on. He reaches over and taps me on the shoulder
or the leg and I glanced up at him and he winked and he smiled. I said,
‘okay, something is going to happen.' I'm looking straight ahead and all
of a sudden, the Giant cuts the loudest, longest fart I believe I have
ever heard in my life. I remember standing there thinking when is it
going to end, it was like ‘oh my gosh,' and it just kept going. The poor
guy who is standing directly behind him, which obviously…this guy is
right at butt level, so he is getting it full force. All I can tell you
is this, when the elevator stopped and the doors opened, those people
couldn't get off the elevator fast enough, it was like the exodus. All
you could hear was the Giant going, ‘Ho,ho,ho,ho, ho." I was laughing so
hard I couldn't breathe…it was a classic Andre moment…"
