If you could have a body double, would you do it, who would it be, and why?

Asked by prolificus (6583points) March 22nd, 2010 from iPhone

Sometimes I think it would be nice to step away from the spinning world for an extended period of time so that I could focus entirely on what I want to do and not deal with real-world responsibilities.

If I could have a body double filling in for my real-world responsibilities, I would. I’m not sure who, though. I need to ponder this a bit.

What’s your response to the original question?

Yeah, I have invented this new saying to go with my feeling “I want to live under the radar” Meaning escape from daily stuff, you know all that stuff. Phone calls, demands, people needing and wanting, I just wish I could live in a hut in the woods. I don’t even want a double, I just want to go live in my hut.

Yes, I would have my double/clone/whatever work for me. I would focus fully on my studies without having to worry about money. I would require that we could fuse together and split apart quickly and easily.

“a body double”?

You mean a slave.

No way. I do just want to get away from it all someday, but I’ll work hard to get there and know I deserved it. Anyway, if I sent my body double to take care of things for me all the time, then ran away to a tropical island or something, they’d probably be pretty pissed. A vengeful person who looked just like me could fuck up my life so bad.

Hmmm, tough question. Brad Pitt, David Beckham, Daniel Craig – all the guys who could convincingly pass for me have pretty good jobs already :-)

~ @ChazMaz – I love how it seems like you are always available to give commentary on the question itself. <wink> ~

@prolificus – LOL I just want to get the facts right. To give my best informative answer. ;-)

prolificus's avatar

@ChazMaz – that’s cool, but you didn’t address the question. What do you say?

CMaz's avatar

Would love to have a slave.

prolificus's avatar

@ChazMaz – slavery is a whole other topic. I wouldn’t support it any way. You’d prefer a slave to a well-paid / well-treated body double?

CMaz's avatar

“to a well-paid / well-treated body double?”

You did not say anything about paying them. :-)

Na, I will keep the money.

Nah, I’m good.

~ @ChazMaz – I need to remember for next time that when I ask a question, I cover all the possible loop-holes so that you straight up answer the question. ~

CMaz's avatar

I have to get out of that bad habit. ;-) You are doing a great job!
