Three men are at an Irish bar in Sydney.
The first says to the second man ‘’so where might you be from then?’’. The second man says ‘’I’m from Ireland myself’’. The first says ‘’I’m Irish too, where ‘bouts may you be from?’’
‘’Cork City is my home quoth the second’’
‘’Well so am I’’ says the first ‘’and where did you go to school?’’
‘’St. Mary’s’’
‘’What a coincidence, what year did you finish?’’
‘’98’’ replies the second man.
‘’That’s my year. We must have been in the same class!’
The third man at the bar turns to the barman and says ‘’have you ever seen anything like this before?’’
The barman says ‘’oh, dont take any notice of the O’Brien twins, they’re drunk again’’
Two black strangers at a bar.
“Well, guess I be heading home.”
“Where do you live.”
“East Harlem.”
“Really? Me, too. Whereabouts?”
“90th street.”
“Me, too. What number?”
“3878.”
“Wow. Me, too. What’s you’re wife’s name?”
“Sapphire.”
“Mine, too. We must be husbands-in-law!”
It would be great if they were inadvertently dating the same girl.
It’s Ireland, fer Christ’s sake. They’re all related anyway.
Had this happen to me. Stopped late one night at a restaurant on the highway headed back from seeing the folks. Waitress says, “nice to see you again”. I look at wife, never been in there before. She comes back with a menu, “Didn’t expect to see you in here this soon.” “Maam, I have never been in here before in my life.” “Yes, you were here last night, sat right there in that same booth.” Just shook my head.
I guess we all have someone that looks like us.
Heh. True.
The one on the left has nicer hair.
I’ve seen my doppleganger before. Except it was a woman and she was a horrible sight to behold. I wouldn’t win any drag contests let me tell you.
Better than your dingleberry.
what is a doppelganger??
So which one is the evil one? The Changeling?
/JOKE
I never met my ‘doppelganger’, but he DID attend the same university, likely at the same time as I did! He was on the front page of the ‘Ottawa Citizen’, wearing a black leather Carleton University, protesting the visit of Ronald Reagan to Ottawa in 1981, when I attended Carleton U.
In March 1981, Ronald Reagan visited Ottawa. His motorcade was supposed to travel from the airport to Parliament Hill via the Airport Parkway/Bronson Avenue, beside Carleton University, and up Colonel By Drive into downtown.
A bunch of socialist students were protesting at the ramp onto Col. By Drive, a tight choke point on the route. Me, and a few conservative buddies stood on Bronson Avenue at the South side of the campus, to get a look at, and cheer on Mr. Reagan.
Both fortunately and unfortunately, as the entourage crested a rise, they turned onto Riverside Drive, a much more open ramp with no protesters, eventually arriving unscathed, on Parliament Hill. Unfortunately for me and my friends, this ramp was a quarter mile south of our vantage point, but fortunately 3/4 of a mile from the commie student protesters.
We were disappointed that we did not see President Reagan but got a great laugh out of the fact that the idiot protesters could not see the entourage turning, and would likely continue to protest in the VERY freezing cold for at least an hour, in an effort to stop the motorcade that had already arrived on Parliament Hill! That sweet satisfaction, of seeing commie protesters freeze their butts off, made up for not seeing President Reagan!
I found out about my ‘doppelganger’ the next day, from a relative who did not like Mr. Reagan. He told me about the front page, full colour photo of ‘me’, protesting Mr. Reagan on Parliament Hill. He should have known it was NOT me because of my politics and the fact that, while I wished I had a black Carleton jacket, all they had were red leather jackets when I purchased mine.
I would not be surprised if the RCMP started a file on me (or hopefully, my doppelganger) at that time. Unfortunately, I never ran into that SOB, else I might have been charged with assault!
The wiki write-up is actually pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelg%C3%A4nger
In my life I’ve had two people tell me I look just like their __ your relationship here __. In the most recent incident the guy, only a nodding acquaintance, just started talking to me as if I knew where he was going. I put on the tilted dog head expression and he stopped and said “but aren’t you xxxx?” We had a chuckle about it.
Slightly OT - 1982, Hoonah, Alaska - my brother and I had just sold about 4 tons of fresh caught halibut and were having drinks in the harbor bar. We started talking to these other fishermen and this one guy had the same last name as ours, turned out he had the exact same name as my brother. First, middle, last. Not even close to a common name like Smith or Jones, either. It was weird.
Keith Hernandez (played on the Cardinals who won the 1982 World Series and on the Mets who won the 1986 World Series) was on Fox & Friends this morning, along with John Stossel. They look so much alike they could be brothers.
In this case a doppelganger is a look alike. It has a more sinister meaning looking at it’s origin.
And the hairline
This led me to conclude that I am a vampire with memory problems.
