Elon Musk! He does appear to be a pretentious twat, however I figure once he has about an hour to go on about himself, as being a Gift to humanity, it would be good to have a balanced conversation with the man that he was before the Billions changed him, to see if he's still in there. As I suspect he really is.
 
Stormy Daniels,
At The Barbers

Chaps at the barber shop asked me what actress I would like to be stuck in an elevator with.

I told them the one who knows how to fix elevators.


I'm old, tired, and pee a lot.
not much point of them being stuck in there with you, they'd be more useful on the outside where the repairs would be done.

Fun fact a mate back when I was an Apprentice told me of his day (he was an apprentice air conditioner) He was on the top floor of (the AMP building?) in Perth and noticed that the lift guys had finished.
He stepped inside and it dropped about fourteen floors then started ascending. Stopped momentarily and then it dropped again, and again with him screaming, the whole time.

Yep, the sign DANGER LIFT TESTING IN PROGRESS had fallen over and they were testing the brakes and the lift cables in a safety inspection. *DO NOT WORRY, THIS CANNOT HAPPEN, ONCE ALL FAILSAFES ARE INSTALLED*

When the lift eventually stopped, however instead of sympathy, he told how the works supervisor abused him for being in the lift and yes young Adrian being immensely distraught, laid him out flat with one hit and he was sacked.

He received a MASSIVE compensation payout however, due to their negligence, which has no doubt changed his life.

God works in mysterious ways! And know Adrian won't go up in lifts anymore. true story.

That incident was EXTREMELY rare. Knowing this I have no issues in lifts at all, I just felt to share the story as a fun fact.

So funny, to me anyway!! At least he got a pay out since he was sacked. Thrill ride at the carnival.
 
I got stuck in a lift once.
I was on my own and to be quite honest the only person I had any interest in talking to was the voice on the other end of the emergency button who asked the lift number and said help is on its way.
Help did come very quickly. Here's me a not so spritely older person having to be lifted down from the doors that were between floors. It was not very graceful.
Mind you, I was very happy to see the young fella who helped me out (if only I was 30 years younger) and didn't mind the hugs, and, you'll be right that followed.
It's quite a daunting experience.

A good story, glad it ended well for you.
 
Ok don't groan. Johnny Depp of younger times before he became a public dork!!

Oh, all Johnnys are a bit intense. Johnny Depp's is cool. All Johnnys are easy going and he'd be a fun light natured larrikin to chat with. The bit about him being a public Dork?

they judged him, turned out, he had a bad DEPP to pay. Amber Depp, had a lot to do with his dorkiness I reckon.

Not so dumb of her to turn towards doing dorky movies, remember the childhood stories, it's the Dork's that brings the money baby.

Hmmm, I should carve or draw that as a picture, its actually funny, ha ha ha

Mmm, yes, he would be interesting to be stuck with for awhile. I’m sure the conversation would be a laugh and the time would pass quickly.
