“the difference between the races is not color. In fact, color may be the least consequential aspect of the differences in the races”
My friend, you just said a mouthful right there.
Don’t be surprised if the men in black pay you a visit for re-education.
If that reality ever took hold in society and spread there would be a lot of nefarious and unscrupulous people out of jobs.
Panic in Detroit...
It's and interesting phenomena, regardless.
Jotato looks like a horse’s ass.
Only time I ever got thrown out of a bar it was a case of mistaken identity. The lady server could not be convinced I was someone other than who she thought I was.
Another guy rolls his car window down and starts talking to me like I was his good friend Jim. Lol. It’s happened a few other times too. Poor bastards who look like me.
Wasn’t Vicki Lawrence chosen from a Carol Burnett look-a-like contest?
Wil Ferrell and (Red Hot Chillipeppers) drummer Chad Smith?
You and me both. It happens to some of us quite regularly. I’ve even had some people adamantly tell me they know me somehow.
On top of that, I’m also kind of a “super-recognizer” myself. It’s a blessing and a curse. I can match famous people’s kid pictures even though I never saw them when they were young. It drives my husband nuts. (Me too, sometimes.)
So if you come up to me and say that I look familiar, and I don’t recognize you, it means I’ve never met you or seen you. I guarantee it.
One woman was so heartbroken that we hadn’t met that I came up with an excuse. I asked if her if the idea of alternate universes was plausible. I told her maybe we met in our dreams in an alternate universe. She accepted that and finally left me alone.
I told her it WASN’T me...
Yep, and He did the same thing for guys.
For women, we all have little boxes in our brains, and they all have connections to the other boxes, all of them. For men, they have boxes, too, but none of them touch each other or are connected in any way. They are very compartmentalized boxes. Men even have a box that has nothing in it, so that when a women asks what they’re thinking about, and they reply “nothing”, they are telling the truth. 😉
Thank you.
Well, and she also listened to her mother. :^)

Her mother didn’t teach her to talk like *this* though (I’m guessin’):

You’re right. One is an empty headed dummy. The other Jeff Dunham’s puppet.
I have a doppleganger.
He looked like me, almost to a T.
Get this...
He had the same name as me.
We met in 1977 in Istanbul. Freaked me out...and the people I was with.
We kept in touch for about five years and did some stupid stuff.
Lost contact about 15 years ago.
Weird.

When I came home from college one summer in the mid-’60s, my younger brother’s friends asked him why he didn’t tell them that April Dancer (The Girl From Uncle) was his sister.
During the time I was separated from my first husband, I went back to my home county. Even though I wasn’t in the same town, I kept being mistaken for some girl I had heard of during my teen years.
One guy was so sure I was her he kept calling me by her name. I had the answer to it — she was actually my first cousin once removed. If she still looks like me all these years later, I feel sorry for one of us!
‘Face
;o]
I have a doppelganger that lives near me. We drove the same old beat up truck, and even had the same model and color. Got rid of that truck, and then I see him around with a new truck nearly identical to my new one. We both sort of stare at each other when we pass on the road. Even a police officer thought I was his buddy until he got real close for a handshake. It’s real weird.
About 2 years ago, I was shopping in a grocery store.
While in the produce section, I looked over and saw my Dad looking at the apples.
I stopped breathing for a few seconds.
My Dad’s been dead since 2011.
This stranger was the spittin’ image of him, though.
I had to stop him and tell him this -thanking him for reminding me how much I missed him.
I was sad the rest of the week...
