How Adam West played a prank using his local phone book

Rusty Blazenhoff 2:24 pm Sat Jun 10, 2017

A few years back, I was in Sun Valley, Idaho for a conference. I learned Adam West lived in the area and I wondered if he was listed in the local phone book. So, I pulled it out of the nightstand in my hotel room and checked.

Flipping to the the "W" page, I spotted his name. His listing prompted, "See Wayne Bruce (Millionaire)." Ha, game on!

Naturally I flipped to "Wayne Bruce (Millionaire)," which brought me to "Please consult Crime Fighters in the Yellow Pages."

Ok, that brought me to "See BATMAN – WHITE PAGES"..

Which then circles back to "See West Adam"!

Nicely played, Mr. West, nicely played. RIP.
