OTOH, I am gratified that the self-flattery was the result of being compared to the Founders rather than a sports figure or actor.
But I am not immune to that either...when I was counter-protesting the moonbats down in Washington DC last fall, I had a couple who were visiting Washington walk over to talk to me about what we were out there for. In the course of the conversation, they confessed they came over to talk to me because they thought I was a famous actor.
Now, that didn't really make me smile, but when I asked who they thought I looked like, they said "Gary Sinese"...:)
I don't think I can see the resemblance myself without a degree of self-delusion:
Now, I don't think I look like him, and I am sure that it was just my jawline and sunglasses that gave them that illusion, but I will say this: With all the work that Gary Sinese has done for and with the troops, and the high regard that they hold him in, he is about the one, single entertainment figure I would wholeheartedly feel flattered to be compared to!
And I WAS flattered...:) Ahh, vanity. Well, they say, take it while you can!
