We were shopping today in our favorite free-trade store (no hints) today. Carl looked up and a woman was staring at him. He said, “Hello.” And she said, “Are you famous?” He answered if you had seen his face on a big screen it was most likely at Safeco Field. (clip #1) (clip #2 – oops, haven’t been able to locate) I helped out by adding it was more likely he was infamous.
It turns out she thought he was Norm Dicks, a state politician. I suppose it is good for politicians to be seen at fair trade stores. He mentioned this event while we were checking out, without telling them who the woman had thought he was. The checker said, “Oh, yeah – you look just like Philip Seymour Hoffman.” What do you think?

I’d go with glasses and letting your hair grow, as opposed to switching to the suit and tie look. That is, should you decide to look like someone else. “To thine own self be true”, and “An original is always worth more than a copy,” also apply.
