This morning I got tagged for the 3rd time to share 5 more things about me that you don't know by Chris Brown.
Let me start by sharing "Take 5 with Phil" and then we took "5 MORE with Phil," and now, stand by for...
5 Things Most Bloggers Don't Know about Phil Gerbyshak
- Phil Gerbyshak got in a huge car accident the day he got his driver's license. I'm lucky to be alive.
- Phil Gerbyshak was called "the Mint Man" by his favorite bosses/parents, Bob and Mary Moser. Bob and Mary were my managers when I worked at a supper club in northeastern Wisconsin, and they treated me like their son. They called me the mint man because when we opened a new restaurant, there was a big bucket of mints hidden in a back covey of the restaurant. Because the mints were still in fresh condition, individually wrapped and all, I asked if I could pass out mints to our customers, asking them "Want a mint?" I was dubbed the Mint Man because of this, and they even put that in the local paper for my 19th birthday.
- Phil Gerbyshak has 2 younger brothers...and 2 older stepbrothers and 1 older stepsister. My parents got divorced when I was 7, and both got remarried when I was 9. My older step-siblings live in Crivitz near my mom.
- Phil Gerbyshak played Babe Ruth baseball against Atlanta Braves All-Star Bob Wickman. I had a pretty darn good curveball myself, but the accident I listed in #1 effectively ended my baseball career.
- Phil Gerbyshak has never smoked a cigarette in his life, and never plans to. I have smoked 1 cigar in celebration for completing a course at a previous employer, but I doubt I'll ever do that again.
If anyone else wants to know anything else about me, please ask me a question in the comments and I'll be happy to answer it. I don't suffer from Adultitis, and I hope you don't either!
[Phil Gerbyshak loves life, and is willing to share anything about him that you want to know. Just ask him!]
