Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous or have you mistaken a normal person for being someone famous?
In the '80s my parents lived on the upper west side of Manhattan, my father would regularly be asked for his autograph thinking that he was John Lennon.
A few years ago, I was trying to figure out why a lady at a sandwich shop looked so familiar & she said that a lot of people said that she looked like someone famous but no one could figure out who it was, after about half an hour I figured out who it was but I wasn't going to be the one to tell her that she looked JUST like Roger Daltrey. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it.

I was at a Walk off the Earth show and was mistaken for Taylor, one of the band members. There was no advantage to this situation so I didn't play along. |
