Actual dialogue between a drive-in window clerk and me.

ME: "How much do I owe you?"

CLERK: "Four ninety-two..... hey!.... the dude from Channel 5 or Channel 2.... hey....?"

ME: "well, actually it's Channel 4..."

CLERK: "then, you know who I'm talking about.... that dude on TV... on Channel 4...?"

ME: "yeah, I know who he is."

CLERK: "the dude who does the news... you know, for a minute, you looked just like him."

ME: "yeah, I get that a lot."

CLERK: "I actually thought for a minute you was him... but now I see, he's a younger dude than you!"

ME: "uh .... right."
