Mine is when he went to the most exclusive restaurant in St. Petersburg, in his youth, wearing his mother's best gown and huge strand of expensive pearls including La Pelegrina (I think with GD Dmitri, but can't recall off hand for sured). He was twirling the pearls and making a scene when the string broke and hundreds of perfectly matched pearls went skittering all over the wooden floor of the place, with the waiters diving under tables trying to gather them all back up.
