Tim Allen was actually born Timothy Dick. When he was 11 years old, his father died in a car crash.

“I loved my father more than anything,” Allen later said. “He was a tall, strong, funny, really engaging guy. I so enjoyed his company, his smell, sensibility, discipline, sense of humor — all the fun stuff we did together. I couldn’t wait for him to come home.”

After the family moved to Detroit, Michigan, his mother got remarried to her high school sweetheart. The two raised Allen and his siblings fairly traditionally before Allen left for Central Michigan University. He then transferred to Western Michigan, where he met his first future wife.

He also began dealing drugs. Two years after graduation in 1976, he was caught — and faced serious time in prison for the first time in his life.

According to CBS News, Tim Allen was arrested in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport on October 2, 1978. He was caught with more than 650 grams — 1.4 pounds — of cocaine.


Unfortunately for Allen, state legislators had just passed a law that tied a life sentence to any conviction of selling 650 grams or more of cocaine.

A few resources specify the details of Allen’s arrest, but John F. Wukovits’ book Tim Allen (Overcoming Adversity) is by far the most substantial.

As Wukovits explained, Allen was set up by an undercover officer named Michael Pifer, who allegedly had been following the amateur drug dealer for months. It was Pifer to whom Allen unwittingly gave the brown Adidas gym bag filled with cocaine.

Wukovits explained that it was Allen’s idea to choose the airport, as he’d seen this sort of scene on television before. He put the bag in a locker and then walked up to Pifer and handed him the key. Once Pifer opened the locker and its contents, Allen was swarmed.

Allen’s cooperation got a life sentence off the table, but he still faced between three to seven years in prison. He ultimately served two years and four months at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota.

“The next thing I observed,” Allen later told the Detroit Free Press, “was a gun in my face.”

Facing life imprisonment, he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and opted to provide the names of other dealers to authorities in exchange for a lighter sentence. That allowed him to be sentenced in a federal court rather than a state court — so the new Michigan law could be ignored.

Facing life imprisonment, he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and opted to provide the names of other dealers to authorities in exchange for a lighter sentence. That allowed him to be sentenced in a federal court rather than a state court — so the new Michigan law could be ignored.


As the future star charmed a judge throughout the ordeal, he told Allen that he expected him to “be a very successful comedian.” Fortunately in the comedy world, being a snitch isn’t a dealbreaker.

In Michigan, meanwhile, Allen’s information “helped authorities indict 20 people in the drug trade and resulted in the conviction and sentencing of four major drug dealers.”

Allen still faced three to seven years in prison, but ultimately only served two years and four months. He was released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota on June 12, 1981

“When I went to jail, reality hit so hard that it took my breath away, took my stance away, took my strength away,” Allen later told Esquire.

“I was put in a holding cell with twenty other guys — we had to crap in the same crapper in the middle of the room — and I just told myself, I can’t do this for seven and a half years. I want to kill myself.”

Amazingly, that’s when the comic in him began to grow. Before long, he was able to make some of the toughest prisoners and even guards laugh.

“I was funny before that,” he told the Los Angeles Daily News. “Prison grew me up. I was an adolescent that woke up too early when my father was killed, and I stayed at that angry adolescent level.”

Allen wasted no time exploring his talent upon his release, working at a Detroit ad agency by day and doing stand-up at the Comedy Castle by night.

He found his persona on stage, and soon booked commercials. A year after his daughter Katherine was born in 1989, he booked a Showtime special.

This caught the attention of Disney’s Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner, who offered him movie roles. Allen turned them down. He eventually persuaded the studio to let him do his schtick as part of a sitcom. Home Improvement premiered in 1991, with his drug-dealing past behind him.

The rest is history — from his successful run in the sitcom until 1999 to roles in classic movies like Toy Story.

While his path in life might not be the most advisable route to take, the decisions he made — some more honorable than others — certainly had him come out on top.

Meet Oliver Sipple, the veteran who saved President Ford's life - and was punished for it

Meet Oliver Sipple, the veteran who saved President Ford's life - and was punished for it In 1975, a disabled Vietnam vet named Oliver Sipple saved President Gerald Ford from an assassin. Although Sipple was hailed a hero at first, the tide quickly turned when the media outed him as a gay man. Not only did the exposure of his homosexuality overshadow his heroic act, it also led to his family essentially disowning him. Years later, Sipple's lifeless body was found next to a cheap bottle of bourbon in his apartment. He'd been dead for nearly two weeks before anyone found him.

Before Loving v. Virginia, another interracial couple fought in court for their marriage

Eighty-four years before Richard Loving and Mildred Jeter traveled from their home in Virginia to wed in Washington, there was another interracial couple who made the same trip for the sake of love. On Nov. 4, 1874, the day interracial marriages became legal in the nation’s capital, Andrew Kinney, a black man, and Mahala Miller, a white woman, left their home in Augusta County, Va., where they lived with their two sons, traveled to the District and married. They spent 10 days on their honeymoon before returning home to Augusta County, Va., where they lived as husband and wife. Then, in 1877, they were arrested and charged with “lewd and lascivious cohabitation” and violating Virginia’s law banning interracial marriage. On Feb. 2, 1878, they were found guilty of miscegenation and fined $500 each. The case was appealed to the Augusta County Circuit Court, where Andrew Kinney’s attorney argued the charges should be dismissed because Kinney’s marriage to Mahala was legal in Washington. But...

A haunted night at Stanley Hotel's Room 217 In March of 2017, I took a history and ghost tour at the Stanley Hotel.

Despite the orbs and intense energy, I left the hotel a skeptic. However, I wanted to come back and stay the night so I could experience more ghost activity. Perhaps the activity would be enough to convince me that ghosts truly do exist.

How To Fix A Broken Relationship

Hurt is inevitable in significant relationships. Yet pain and strife do not have to mean a relationship is going to end. Many couples find that working through trouble actually makes their relationship even stronger. What they realize is that all relationship require work, love, and patience to succeed, and this is especially true when trying to mend a broken relationship. 1. Determine if the other person wants to fix the relationship. There is no sense in trying to fix something if you are the only one willing to do the work. If your partner is unapologetic for mistakes, dismissive of your desire to talk, or continues hurtful behavior, it might be time to move on. It takes two people to mend a broken relationship. If you are the only one trying to save things then you will never succeed. 2. Determine why the relationship is in trouble. All relationships go through rough patches at one point or another. As the novelty of your first few months together wears off, problem...

Meet Tenzing Norgay, The ‘Unsung Hero’ Of The First Successful Summit Of Mount Everest Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Mount Everest, but he couldn't have done it without Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Born in the Himalayas, Tenzing Norgay grew up revering the "mighty mountain" of Everest and the "goddess of the summit." Though his father gave him a name that means "wealthy fortunate follower of religion" in hopes that he would become a monk, Norgay dreamt of being a mountaineer. He ran away from home multiple times to hike among the peaks, and eventually joined his first official mountaineering expedition at age 20 in 1935. By the time he was 40 years old, he had spent more time on the face of Mount Everest than any other person alive. ⁠ ⁠ So, when a British expedition was looking for local guides in an attempt to reach the summit, they turned to Norgay.
