This man's tale of a bizarre encounter with Muhammad Ali is a 20-tweet long epic well worth the read.
Twitter user @ThatBoysGood, who recounted the story on Saturday, once drove to an Ali event hoping for an autograph and a photo. He left with both — plus a newfound appreciation for Ali's humor and heart.
And he learned a lot along the way, including Ali's thoughts on opponent Ken Norton's cranium.
