Gee, Thanks

I'm waiting in line at Wal-Mart when the woman in front of me does a double take and says, "You look just like Sara Palin! Has anyone ever told you that before?"

Actually, no.

After a stunned silence I stuttered something like, "Uh, no. It must be the glasses."

To be more authentic I should have said,"Ohh, good, thank you, yes." --Sarah Palin, after a notorious Canadian prank caller complimented her on the documentary about her life.

I'm low on contacts. Not that this means anything in itself but I've been wearing my glasses a little more these days. I'm not sure what to think but I think I'll schedule that appointment with the optometrist tomorrow. All things considered, I suppose it's better than looking like Hilary Clinton.
