Tom Hanks became emotional at his friend Michael Clarke Duncan's memorial service on September 10, while recalling a hilarious story his Green Mile co-star had told him about joining a gang as a youth in Chicago.
Hanks used impersonations of Duncan to help illustrate the tale. Duncan told him that there was a particular gang that distinguished themselves from others by dying a patch of their afro red. To join the gang you had to survive a 20-minute beating.
Duncan said he survived the beating no problem, got his red patch of hair, then went home to show his mama.
His mother, who is a lady of small stature was cooking dinner. She asked her son why he had a red patch of hair in his head. He told her it was because he had just joined a gang.
Before he knew what happened his mama had hit him upside the head with a frying pan, sending pork chops flying. She told Duncan, who by then was crying hysterically to go borrow a pair of scissors from his sister and cut that red patch of hair out of his head. Then go down the street and tell that gang he wouldn't be joining them after all.
Duncan did as he was told, then heads down the street with a bald patch in his afro. He finds the gang and tells them his mother said he couldn't join.
Hanks said he asked Duncan what happened next and Duncan told him they beat the crap out him again for another 20 minutes.
"If it wasn't for that mama and the frying pan with a pork chop, we would not be here today celebrating the life of Michael Clarke Duncan," Hanks said.

Los Angeles police had their hands full earlier today trying to catch bank robbers who led them on a high speed chase through L.A., all while throwing money out of the window.
"This isn't something we see every day," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Capt. Mike Parker said, according to NBC Philadelphia. "This definitely had some unique aspects to it."
What may have seemed like a good idea to the suspected banks robbers only slowed them down as onlookers waved to them, signaling for them to throw more money. At times they had to weave through dozens of people in the streets.
"If they thought that by throwing money out the window, that that would distract us or have people get in the way and block us -- they're going to run out of money," Parker said "We're not going to run out of sheriff's deputies. We're not going to run of helicopters. We're going to stick with them."
"I can't imagine they did this for the good of the community," Parker later added.
The chase started after four or five suspects robbed a Bank of America in Santa Clarita, California. The chase lasted 80 minutes before ending in South L.A.
Two suspects were taken into custody at the scene. Two others are being searched for in Sylmar, where one person has been detained but authorities were not sure if he is a suspect.
Within minutes a crowd of onlookers had gathered and swarmed the area.
Witnesses were grateful the robbers had thrown the cash in their neighborhood.
"I'm just so glad this person came to throw this money in the 'hood, basically. You usually see robbers and they take their stuff and they leave. But this guy came over and tried to help us out. You know, it's a big depression nowadays," said a female witness, who identified herself as a 23-year-old resident of the area. "He's doing something I never though a robber would ever do."
"Kind of like a Robin Hood situation, rob from the rich, give to the poor. Everybody's out to kind of get some of the money," another resident told NBC4

Five more Georgia men were charged in connection with an anti-government militia with ties to Fort Stewart that's been accused of killing two people and plotting to assassinate President Barack Obama, authorities said Tuesday.
The five defendants were indicted in Liberty County, Georgia, on charges that include violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, involving what prosecutors called an "identified criminal street gang" named FEAR, for Forever Enduring, Always Ready.
Four U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Stewart had already been accused of being members of the anarchist group, which was allegedly stockpiling weapons and bomb parts to overthrow the U.S. government, prosecutors said.
The four soldiers are accused of killing former GI Michael Roark and his teenage girlfriend, Tiffany York.
'Anarchists' accused of murder; broader plot against government
Under one of three indictments returned Monday by a Liberty County grand jury, Christopher Jenderseck was charged with three Street Gang Act violations and two counts of tampering with evidence in the killings of Roark and York in neighboring Long County, said District Attorney Tom Durden and Assistant District Attorney Isabel Pauley of the Atlantic Judicial Circuit.
In a second indictment, defendant Timothy Martin Joiner is charged with burglary, theft by taking and two Street Gang Act violations. Adam Dearman is charged with three Street Gang Act offenses.
In the third indictment, Joiner, Adam Dearman, Randall Blake Dearman and Anthony Garner are charged jointly, prosecutors said. Joiner and Randall Dearman each face two counts of burglary, nine counts of entering an auto, two counts of financial transaction card theft, one count of theft by taking, one count of criminal damage to property in the second degree, and 14 counts of Street Gang Act violations, prosecutors said.
In addition, Adam Dearman is indicted on three counts of Street Gang Act violations, and Garner is charged with theft by receiving stolen property and one Street Gang Act count, prosecutors said.
Jenderseck was arrested Tuesday in North Dakota, but Joiner and Garner weren't in custody, authorities said Tuesday.
Regarding the charges against the four soldiers, a law enforcement official said they had legally purchased at least 18 rifles and handguns in Washington and Georgia.
Uncompleted pipe bombs were also found, and were comprised of store-bought materials, the official said. No sophisticated military grade-explosives were involved in their construction.
One official described the offenses as a murder case and said no federal charges had been filed.
Last month, Pfc. Michael Burnett laid out the elaborate plot, telling a southeast Georgia court that he was part of what prosecutors called "an anarchist group and militia."
Dressed in his Army uniform, he spoke in a Long County court about the group of Army soldiers and its role in the December deaths of Roark and York.
Michael Roark and Tiffany York were murdered by the militia
Roark, he said, was killed because he took money from the group and planned to leave.
"I don't know how it got to the point where two people got murdered," Burnett said in court.
Anthony Peden and Isaac Aguigui
He talked about how he and three others accused -- Pvt. Isaac Aguigui, Sgt. Anthony Peden and Pvt. Christopher Salmon -- had begun getting together, "just going out shooting guns, just guy stuff."
"And then Aguigui introduced me to 'the manuscript,' that's what he called it, a book about true patriots," the soldier said.
The four men became part of a group that aimed "to give the government back to the people," according to Burnett, who said that revolution was its goal. They called it FEAR -- Forever Enduring Always Ready -- and spent thousands of dollars buying guns and bomb parts.
Prosecutors: 'Anarchist' group of U.S. soldiers aimed to overthrow government
The government needed a change, Burnett told the court. "I thought we were the people who would be able to change it."
It is not clear how capable the group was of carrying out the goals Burnett laid out.
Assistant District Attorney Pauley identified Aguigui as the leader of what she described as "an anarchist group and militia" that included active and former troops.
"Defendant Aguigui actively recruited new members at Fort Stewart (in southeast Georgia) and targeted soldiers who were in trouble or disillusioned," she said.
Michael Burnett and Christopher Salmon
At the time of their arrest, group members had plotted a number of "acts of domestic terror," the prosecutor said.
These included "forcibly taking over the ammo control point of Fort Stewart to take the post, bombing vehicles of local and state judicial and political figureheads and federal representatives to include the local department of homeland security, (and plotting) to bomb the fountain at Forsyth Park in Savannah."
Days before he died, Roark had been discharged from the Army, according to Pauley.
Roark and his girlfriend were killed because Aguigui felt the couple was "a loose end," Burnett said.
Burnett admitted being at the scene of the crime, including watching as a soldier "checked (York's) pulse and then shot her again."
As part of an agreement with prosecutors, Burnett pleaded guilty to manslaughter -- instead of murder, thus avoiding a possible death sentence -- and other charges. He also agreed to testify against the three other soldiers accused in the case.
All four soldiers had also been charged by the military in connection with the two killings. But as their case proceeded through civilian courts, the Army dismissed its charges, according to Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson.
In a statement last month, Larson insisted that Fort Stewart and its affiliated Hunter Army Airfield do not have "a gang or militia problem."
"Any suspicions of gang activity are actively investigated by CID, (which) recognizes the obvious concerns with the combination of gangs and military-type training," he said.
"That is why CID monitors and investigates gang and extremist group association with criminal acts in the Army so closely. We believe the reason we are able to maintain a low gang criminal threat status is because of the awareness of and focus on the threat."
Fort Stewart, about 40 miles southwest of Savannah, is home to the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division.
Tens of thousands of troops, their dependents, civilian personnel and contractors live and work on the base, which encompasses 280,000 acres and includes parts of five counties, including Long County, which has about 14,500 residents. Hunter Army Airfield is in Savannah but is officially part of the larger Fort Stewart complex.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks what it characterizes as "hate groups" nationwide, spoke to Aguigui's father last month.
"I served my country for 20 years and I honor that, take pride in that," Ed Aguiguitold the center, according to the center's Hatewatch blog. "I don't know what my son's views are, and where they came from."

Slaughterhouse recently released two very different projects. Their On the House mixtape was dropped as a gift to their hardcore fan base. Their album welcome to: Our Housewas also for their hardcore fans, but it also had more of a commercial feel.
Some fans have criticized welcome to: Our House as being too commercial. BallerAlert.com caught up with the group recently and asked Joe Budden about the criticism, and what the difference was in the process of making the two projects. Check out what he had to say. It's interesting to say the least.
"What the f*ck are you telling me about what these fans are talking about for? I could give two sh*ts," Joe said. "Y'all have that mixtape? Great, glad you enjoyed it. Like some of the album? Want to collage them? Want to mix and match them [and] make the perfect album? Hey, wipe your a$$ while you do it. We don't give a f*ck."
Wow, what do you think of Joe's comments?
