People always think I look like someone I’m clearly not. But it’s been going on for a very long time. Since the 80s. That’s when a TV show came on and it was fairly popular. So everyone started referring to me by the name of a main character in that show. I wasn’t exactly flattered, but it is what it is.

Sometime back the following incident happened to took the mistaken identity deal to a whole new level. So here goes.

I go to Cracker Barrel fairly often to eat. The lady that seated me remarked that she thought I was famous. Knowing I was fixing to get the old Al Bundy line, I beat her to the punch and said “yeah I get mistaken for Al Bundy a lot”.

She said “no, I thought you were Matthew McConaughey“.

I said “no, but I do play the bongo drum’s nude in my living room occasionally”.

That threw her for a loop. I think she forgot to even tell me what that specials on the board were.

I was back a few days later and she announced, Matthew McConaughey is back then told me she thought he looked better before he lost all that weight.

I told her that’s why I keep my extra weight on so I don’t start looking more like him.

I’ve pondered who she actually thinks Matthew McConaughey is.

Did he lose weight?
