Comedian Jack Vale drove around pretending to be looking for people. He provided the physical description of whatever person he asked. No one recognizes his own appearance, or at least doesn't want to admit to it.
Um, is it just me or does he mostly talk to people that seem to have english as a second language? Then he runs his words together making it difficult to hear. Startle someone, confuse them with a stupid question then laugh at their response. Or maybe it's just not my cup of tea. Who knows.
Something kind of like that happened to me a few years back. My husband and I were supposed to be meeting my parents at a restaurant, and when we arrived we described them to the host " A short lady with long red curly hair and a tall guy with a beard" and the host looked us kind of confused and then I realized that we,too, were a "a short lady with long curly red hair and a tall guy with a beard". We look very little like my parents, but that particular description totally fit us both.
I suppose you'd think- Well, can't be me so must be someone else...
