Have I seen you somewhere?


My face does not launch a thousand ships. Neither do I have the misfortune to be the spokesman for Potex. (a brand for WC) I am just the average guy that easily disappears in a crowd. In fact, so common my look is, that I am often mistaken for someone else.

“You look and behave exactly like the professor in my class. Are you sure you don’t have another twin brother?” I wish I have one, so that I go rob the bank, and he takes the blame for it.

“I saw you last month. You were selling deep fried grasshoppers in southern Thailand, right?” Fortunately at the time, I was in some far away village selling dead rats. Why? You expect a discount from me?

The latest statement came from a nurse in the hospital where my mother was staying.
“you look familiar, I am sure I have seen you somewhere.”
“Ahem,” I replied, “I certainly hope that ‘somewhere’ is not in the morgue!”
