To use a quote from TMWSLV, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." We all can imagine that story being true, but the chance of it turning out that way is slim. I have a feeling that if it really had happened that way, it would have been a well know story, not just a "I read or heard this" story.
And Keith, if you're talking about Henry Winkler who played The Fonz on Happy Days, tell him we all said, HEYYYYYYY!
