HAHAHA:
"While I'm on Arthur Miller, I might as well tell my favorite Arthur Miller story--at least, I think it's an Arthur Miller story. I heard it once; don't know whether it's true.
Miller meets an old high-school classmate in a restaurant. The classmate says, 'Art? Art Miller? Good to see you. It's been years.' He then asks Miller what he does for a living, which takes the famous playwright somewhat aback.
Miller: 'Um, I'm a writer.'
Classmate: 'Really? That's great. What do you write?'
Miller: 'Um, plays, mostly.'
Classmate: 'Plays? Terrific. Any success?'
Miller: 'Did you ever hear of Death of a Salesman?'
The classmate gets wide-eyed. For a few seconds, he can't speak. Then he says, 'You're Arthur Miller?'
