Oddly enough I've had a few instances of people mistaking me for (get this) a celebrity. Yep, a country music singer named Gary Morris. I don't get it. His hair is salt & pepper and mine is brown but there have been at least a half dozen comments from total strangers. I once even talked to a guy in a restaurant for a half hour who claims to have met this guy and told me I'd pass for him. The worst one was at one of my favorite stores, Sam's. There was a teenager (obviously a big fan of Mr Morris) and when I rounded the end of an aisle she screamed "It's him!" and pointed a shaking finger at me while tugging her Mom's arm. I'm thinkin' oh hell somebody's raped this poor little girl and she's mistaken me for the culprit. I wasn't sure whether to wind my ass or scratch my watch. Finally she muttered the name and I said "Whoa Honey I'm not him." She stuttered a few words of protest and finally believed me. Her Mom was precious about it all. I guess she could see the total confusion on my face. I've made jokes with other people when they say I look familiar and ask have they been admiring pictures at the post office again.
