Gonna spice this up a bit. One of these is an outright falsehood. The other is the absolute truth.
Once, many moons ago, good ol' Sleepwalk was working in a gym. Poppa Sleepwalk had organized a trip to Yankee Stadium with a crew of people from his office and a mess of family members. I was supposed to go on that trip but I was going to have to open the gym the next morning at 0530hrs and was just not feeling the long ferry ride up to the Bronx. I begged off, saying that I was going to be cutting it close and to just go without me. The next day, I find out that the game was being impaired by none other than Angel Hernandez. Coincidentally, Hernandez is neighbors with my cousins' aunt from the other side of their family and recognized them as they had good third base line seats. He brought them down on the field and they got pictures with Jorge Posada, Paul O'Neill, and even Bernie Williams. I was angry with myself mostly but also a little bit with my cousin for rubbing it in. I slapped him in the ribs for it. His mom (my godmother) got pissed at me for it. I explained that he was lording Bernie Williams over me and she yelled at him and said that he deserved it.

Once, many more moons ago, a young Sleepwalk was working as a lifeguard along the New Jersey coastline. It was a gray, cold, and windy day. The green flags were still out. Wasn't lightning or rough water. Nonetheless, nobody was on this private beach club sand that day. I'm just sitting in the guard shack, eating a turkey club sub and reading Muscle & Fitness and Wizard magazines while the other guard is calling to get approval to go home. Nothing's going on so I walk on up to the snack bar to launch an ass rocket. When I start walking back, the guy who owned the club (not the manager, mind you, but the actual owner who owned a lot of other stuff like land, businesses, and state assemblymen) was on the beach, waving me onto the beach and pointing out into the water. Sure enough, there's some asshole out there by the buoys, yelling. I run right past the owner. Neither of us say anything but I can see him glaring at me out of the corner of my eye. Belly full of sandwich and Snapple and with no torp, I get the guy, throw up with some swallowed back down with a little seawater, and get him back to shore. He's yammering in broken English and it's determined that was swimming on the unguarded beach up the shore about 1000'-1500'. Turns out the other guard was going out to his car, ran into the owner, and got the okay to leave. I hadn't left the beach unguarded, the owner and other guard had. And this guy wasn't from our beach anyway. I kept my job and the swimmer probably went home to Italy at the end of the summer with a much shorter story than this one.
