Sal,

That is bizarre, bacause the reason I was able to relate the anecdote 
was that I heard David himself describe it in a television interview a 
few years ago. I think the interview was in connection with publication 
of a book, but enough time has passed that I'm not positive about that.

I feel like it's time for Rod Serling to step in... :-).
