Let's Roll, Dr. Rey

An 80-year old passenger on an American Airlines flight originating in Austin apparently got disoriented as the plane neared its destination of Los Angeles. He got out of his seat and pushed a stewardess. Then he made his biggest mistake: he wandered into first class.

Bad. Idea. Especially when a superbadass cosmetic surgeon with a jacked-up rug is on-board, ready to lay the smack down faster than you can say blepharoplasty.

rey karate2.jpgAy yah! Dr. 90210 (Robert Rey) to the rescue.

"When you get a black belt, at that stage your brain just clicks into action," the doctor said. "I restrained this gentleman in a very aggressive way without hurting him."

rey3.jpgWe don't even know where to start with this one: The fact that an able bodied man felt it necessary to perform aggressive martial arts moves on a "frail" old man or the seeming non-sequitur inclusion of a black belt informing one's decision-making process.

In America, first you get the hair piece, then you get the black belt, then you get the power.

Rey was returning home from Austin after shooting a segment of The Insider here in town. Whatever that is. He was quoted as saying he was excited to get home and spend 4 minutes with his family before returning, sharpie in hand, to his needy clients in Beverly Hills. Poor, poor ladies.

Have you seen this guy's show on E!? We admit we've seen an episode. So bizarre.

This man is my hero forever. According to his resume, his "Outside Interests" (never seen that section on the resume of a grown person, but I don't know that many grown people, so I guess it makes sense) include:

Eagle Scout
Horsemanship
Baroque Music and Art

He truly is a Renaissance man! Humanity has a CHANCE!

I watched the segment on the insider and he was here trying to talk a 30 year old out of having her 30th cosmetic surgery procedure done.....

Scary!!

Guess who styles his hair?? Jonathan on that other reality freak show. Can you imagine the conversations those two have.

wouldn't Dr. Rey just drop his hair off at the salon and pick it up after kung fu class, thus removing any potential for awkward ego-fueled conversation?
