The less you know heading into this story about Muhammad Ali, told by @ThatBoysGood on Saturday morning, the better.
Colored pencils come into play, though. Just wait for it.

I witnessed one of the funniest things ever from The Greatest. Debating wether to share because it would take about 40 tweets probably.

During undergrad I got a cake job driving exchange students around. First was the Panamanians, which was a party. Next was a Muslim group.
— TBG (@ThatBoysGood) June 4, 2016
Muslim group was less *entertaining than the Panamanians but I learned a lot about people I was led to believe were evil. They weren't.

boss calls & says "take them to the Ali Center, there will be speakers discussing modern Islam in America post 9/11. And Ali will be there.

Said he would pose for a pic and sign one autograph. I unpinned the Ali Norton poster from my wall rolled it up and put a suit on.

So we get seated and then he walks in with his handlers carrying a satchel of some sort. Sits down removing items from the satchel.

I'll be honest, I'm sure the speaker was very informative and I could've learned a lot but cmon I'm not taking my eyes off Ali.

he takes out a pad of paper, a pack of colored pencils, and an electric pencil sharpener. I had no idea how hard I was about to laugh.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPEECH HE SHOVES PENCILS IN THE ELECTRIC SHARPENER

"The state of the Americ-"RRRRRRRRRRRRRR he's just sharpening pencils loud af not giving a damn during the dudes speech.
— TBG (@ThatBoysGood) June 4, 2016
He has this mischievous grin every time he does it like "voice be damned I will still troll the world if I please"
— TBG (@ThatBoysGood) June 4, 2016
He does this like 5 times before the speaker threw in the towel and said "well I guess the Greatest is ready for pictures, line up there"
— TBG (@ThatBoysGood) June 4, 2016
Not gonna lie, my buddy and I are in line trying to scheme up how I could distract him while my buddy swiped one of his drawings.
— TBG (@ThatBoysGood) June 4, 2016
I get up to him and he looks me up and down and grabs my arm, holds it up like I was hitting him, and faked a pained look, for the pic.
— TBG (@ThatBoysGood) June 4, 2016
I unroll my poster, he grins, he makes hand gestures I couldn't read. His friend: "Muhammad wants you to lean down so he can speak to you"
— TBG (@ThatBoysGood) June 4, 2016
I lean over visibly trembling, almost passed out. He said "That boy Norton had a head of concrete, but boy was it fun to punch".

Does stuff like this make Twitter worth the hassle? Maybe. Maybe.
