Larry King Encounters Miami Con-Artist

  Last night, Larry King interviewed Heather Mills, who recently performed in Dancing with the Stars in spite of her prosthetic leg. 

(Unless you have been living under a rock, you know she’s the soon-to- be ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney.  British tabloid coverage was scathing.)

Anyway, on the subject of Heather Mill’s prosthetic leg popping off, Larry King shared a Miami anecdote with the audience:

KING: ... Did it ever fall off crossing the street?

MILLS: Yes, once I crossed Zebra Crossing and it was a really, really hot day and it started to slip. And I took a step and it just kind of fell. And this poor guy on his moped just saw this leg that looked really real lying in the front of the road and me hopping after it, trying to pick it up and hop out of the way. 

And I went into this woman’s boutique with my leg under my arm and I said, “Can I use your changing room to pop my leg back on?” because I had trousers on so I didn’t want to flash my knickers in front of everybody.

KING: You know, you can play tricks on people with that.

MILLS: Yes.

KING: Let them think they ran over you.

MILLS: Oh, don’t. I could.

KING: I had a guy do that at parked cars once in Miami. He had one leg and the guy would pull the car up and he’d throw the leg off and he’d say, “Hey!”

Dancing with a prosthetic leg:  GREAT

One-legged guy in Miami parking lot throwing prosthetic off at world-renown interviewer:  PRICELESS
