Have you ever had a double?

Man.. that’s really cool and thrilling at the same time..don’t think someone double is there to my knowledge but you never know..) Were you able to find out who he was?

Yes, sort of. In my particular profession, there is a guy who looks very similar to me. Same head shape, same (lack of) hair, similar beard, and generally similar beard. He’s about 10 years younger than me, but still similar looking.

We were at the same conference a couple years ago, and several people came up to me and said “Tom – you look different” – I had to say – “no, I’m not Tom….”

Yes, tons of them. I make them in a factory, and they die in assassinations all the time.

I was always told I was Farrah Fawcett’s double. But, actually, she was quite a bit shorter than I am. Among other things.

Yes, I look like a reporter on TV. Once, when I got mistaken for him, I said, “Yes! And would you like an on-camera interview?”

I have been told several times, but I never seen them or lived in the areas where my doppelganger was supposedly lived.

When I was in my early twenties and waiting on tables, women customers constantly said that I was the spitting image of Doug McClure, a popular Western TV star at the time. I, personally, thought I had a better tan and was better looking. But they got no argument from me. They enjoyed having me as a waiter and the tips were good.

I think you meant Doug McClure @Espiritus_Corvus. Your link sent me to Gail’s farewell post.

Ooops. Doug McClure (Better picture). I still think I was better looking.

I bet you were!

^^ Hey, did you know that Snowberry the Spider Woman is back in town?

Yeah, I saw her post yesterday! Did you know I have her phone number? But I never call her. I should call her.

My cousin wasn’t a double but we looks like we could be….
I’ve been mistaken on business trips/vacations in airports for another’s husband. HA-HA

I wear a bright orange cap for my wife to find me in a crowd. Just in case my double is out there.

I’m not snowberry, this is her double talking. >:D

<—- I have a million doubles. How do I find myself in the crowd?

@janbb
Your the one in the penguin suit.

@Tropical_Willie But so is he and her and them and…......

Good to see you notsnowberry!

I have to read that carefully because at first glance it looked like snotsnowberry. Have I been insulted already my first day back?
Lol

Edit. Wait, that was my double talking. Carry on then!

LOL!! It wa snot snot!

My medical records kept getting mixed up with someone whose details were extremely similar to mine. Whether we resemble each other I dont know as we have never met.

In college, I had the resident advisor knock on my door one Friday night at 7 PM. Opened the door and there was a State Trooper with the R.A. behind him. “Where is William YYYY ? ”
I’m William YYYY !
Trooper, “No the William YYYY I’m looking is 5 inches shorter and has dark brown hair not red with matching beard.”
Well long story short, “William YYYY”, under drinking age by a couple of years, had started a fight in a saloon in the next town, then threw two bar stools through the front glass of the establishment and walked out. I knew of only two other “William YYYY” my dad and my grandfather in the whole USA. The funny thing is there was a Ray YYYY, in the next dorm building that had the trooper visit first, he was behind the RA, I had never met a YYYY outside my direct family ever! The name YYYY is only 0.001% of the population in the USA

@imrainmaker No, Boss, we never did track him down—it was a fairly large university (about15,000 at that time) and there was a university in the adjacent town, and he could have come from there, just on campus to take a course or two. It was kind of fun, when people weren’t getting in my face about ignoring them.

People’s stories have reminded me of a remotely similar circumstance. My mother was one of a pair of fraternal twins. As children, my grandmother would dress them in the same outfits, and people said they could not tell them apart. As adults, you would not even have assumed the were sisters. But there was a photograph of them at about age six months, and in that photo, anyone who knew them as adults could say, “Oh, that’s June on the left, and Jean on the right.”

@flutherother When i was in the army, a pay clerk overseas typed my social security bumber incorrectly, just the last digit as four rather than five. In those days, we were paid in cash—the pay officer showed you your record, counted out the money, and you signed for it. I noticed the error on the second payday after it was entered incorrectly. All those records at that time were kept on paper, then sent stateside later for data entry.

After I got out of the army, i filed my tax return for 1973, and got a letter from the IRS asking me why i had not filed for 1970, -71 and -72, as i had filed returns for the 1960s. I took the letter on down to the Federal Building, played the yokel and an IRS employee helped me to fill out returns for those three years, with zero income listed. He warned me of dire consequences if they ever found out i had jerked them around. Here we are, more than 40 years later, and the nickel still hasn’t dropped for those boys.

When I was in the hospital, after having just had my first baby, a resident walked in. He looked at me, then looked down at his chart, then looked at me again and said, “You’re not a black male, are you.”
I laughed and said, “Well, I wasn’t when I came in!”

I have had double scoops of ice cream, doubles in Scrabble, double helpings of fried okra, and double chip ice cream.

I’ve had doubles on many occasions. I’ll have one now, bartender!~

My double lives in a corral about 25 yards from my front door. Her name is “Mozie” and she is a stout little palomino Halflinger horse. We are both foodies and both have flowing blonde manes and nice rumps. The only difference between Mozie and I is that I don’t kick my door when I am hungry.lol

Relevant and funny

This isn’t about doubles ?

Shame.
