I had an embarrassing moment once because of Billy. I was attending a Vegas Night charity event in Oklahoma City and there were several local celebrities in attendance. I was at a table standing across from Billy and he was yakking it up, swearing and being an all around dick, which I thought was very inappropriate given the occasion. Billy left the table mumbling to himself, and as he walked away I said, "Geez, what a jerk". The lady standing next to me who hadn't opened her mouth to say a word all the time that we were playing the tables turned to me and said, "You don't have to tell me, I'm married to him." I must have turned bright red immediately because she quickly told me "it's okay" and laughed. Obviously, I apologized however I don't think she bought it, but she really seemed to have got a kick out it. I didn't. My wife was over at another table and I told her about it....she said, "whatever you do or say never surprises me". With my winnings, I was able to get the highest bid on an autographed basketball signed by many name NCAA coaches including, of course, Billy Tubbs. It's a good story that I enjoy sharing whenever Billy's name comes up.
