doppelganger
funny, Portland, true September 28th, 2012checker:Â Hey, were you in here earlier tonight?
me:Â Nope.
checker:Â Hunh. . .’cause there’s someone who looks just like you.
me:Â I’ve heard that before, actually.
checker:Â You have a doppul—what’s that word?
me:Â Doppelganger.
checker:Â Oh, yeah. . .’doppelganger.’Â He looks exactly like you, but he was wearing a blue shirt.
me (wearing a multi-colored striped shirt): Crazy! But yeah, I’ve heard that I have at least one in town. My main doppelganger is from Massachusetts, though.
checker:Â (long, awkward pause) Well, Mr. [my last name], you saved six dollars and forty-nine cents.
me:Â Excellent.
checker:Â Have a good evening.
me:Â Thanks, you too.
