keep in mind that photograph is Bill Killebrew, the guy who sold the chimpanzee to Elvis

But that entire story about the limousine and the steering column it's all true

which is really not even nearly as weird as most of Elvis's other idiosyncrasies...

Like, for example...
Elvis had a big box he would carry around spilled with very very expensive jewelry.. each item in the box cost at least $35,000

He would drive around overton Park in Memphis Tennessee, in a BMW with a low profile blue police light rack on top

This was back in the '70s

He would wait until he saw somebody running a stop sign, and he would turn on the flashing lights and pull them over

they would think it was undercover police pulling them over, just for a "rolling stop" through a stop sign in a residential neighborhood

instead, they'd be surprised to see Elvis Presley get out of the car, sweating profusely, high as fuck on drugs, wearing a big thick black parka and a MOTHER FUCKING TURBAN!!! (The turban was a movie prop from the movie harem scarum)

He would pull out a pistol and point it at them..

and slurring his words, obviously wasted out of his mind, Elvis would tell them, "we don't run stop signs in Memphis. Do you understand me?"

And then he would open the box and pull out a very expensive watch or bracelet, give it to them, and jump back into his car and speed off into the night

He was the world's most famous human being

and simultaneously THE LONELIEST MAN ON EARTH

He was completely insane, but cool as fuck
