When I go out; I often like to look around to see I can see anybody that looks like me. I have always heard that everybody has a double somewhere in the world. Over the past several years; there has been a few occasions that people would tell me that I had a look alike in different places.

On the first occasion; it was the son of my aunt's landlord. The man told me that I looked like his son when there was several people present. I wish I would have asked to see a picture of his son, but I didn't.

The second time this happened to me; I was donating my plasma in a nearby town. The nurse told me that she knew somebody that looked a lot like me in an insane asylum. Since I never been in an insane asylum before; I told her it wasn't me.

On the last occasion; I was doing some shopping in a Wal-Mart store in Oklahoma City. A man walked up to me and told me that he had a friend in Georgia that looked like me. He even told that we had the same style of beard and curly hair.

On these three occasions; I know now that I have a few people who looks like me in the world. I even met one of my doubles. Several people would get us confused and think one of us would be the other.

I'm not sure if I want to meet any more of my double because of this confusion. If the other person gets into trouble with the law; you might get the blame for it. It might be just one big hassle.

As time goes on; I might learn about a few more of my doubles. Until this time comes; I might be more ready to meet some of my doubles. I wonder how many people who looks like me are out there.

If I ever met anybody who looks like me; I will try to make friends with them. The person might be worth getting to know.
