Doppelganger nonsense
The other night, when I was out getting free beer, one of the guys we were with asked whether Alex and I were brothers. A drunken acquaintance overheard this and became angry, swearing at us for never having told him we’re brothers. Well, we’re not. But I guess I can see how one might think we are.
I know I’ve mentioned this doppelganger thing before, but i thought this bore repeating. It really is kind of odd.
A friend, Matt, has a little brother visiting at the moment, and the little bro arrived in Munich while Matt was still traveling over break. I—among others—made sure to treat the little bro right, and got him right drunk. The next morning, he was describing to Matt the hospitality of a certain lanky fellow with long hair and glasses, and who’s funny as hell. Matt said, “But wait, I thought Alex was working last night.”
Upon hearing this story, I considered terminating my friendship with Matt, but then realized that one of the listed qualities was not “ravishingly handsome,” so it’s understandable that he thought of Alex first.
Yes, I realize that as doppelgangers, people perceive us as pretty much identical. But give me a break here, we’re freaking gorgeous, and I’m funny as hell.
