FINDING AN ANSWER TO SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT BEING A TWIN.

FINDING AN ANSWER TO SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT BEING A TWIN. In the conversation about birthdays, somebody asked if Elmer and I, as identical twins, look as much alike as we did when we were younger. I took the opportunity to say that my brother is a very good-looking man. It took me fifty years to think of that line, but I use it now whenever I am asked what my brother is like.

  1. Dick Weisfelder says:

    We also need to hear what Elmer says!

  2. Philip says:

    Probably the same thing, don’t you think?

  3. Dick Weisfelder says:

    I hope you’re not suggesting, stereotypically, that as a twin, he would say exactly the same thing!

  4. Mary Jane Schaefer says:

    Phil was looking to find a photo on himself he could send on with his high school reunion information. I suggested he send the Samurai picture of Elmer. He laughed and said, “Maybe we should BOTH send it!”

  5. Lee says:

    I recited that line today at my aunt’s wedding when Wallace and Douglas were talking about being mistaken for each other. I must say it’s one of your better sallies.

  6. Philip says:

    “One of your better sallies.” Lee knows that my father would often say after making a joke that didn’t work (often a pun): “I thought that was one of my better sallies.” Thanks for the tribute to my father, Lee.

  7. Lee says:

    Oooops. I didn’t remember it was for the failed jokes!

  8. Philip says:

    It’s OK. My father would also say it after we laughed, but he seemed to enjoy it more when he said it after we failed to laugh.

  9. Annalisa says:

    I think Lee and my dad’s father would’ve gotten along splendidly.

  10. Philip says:

    I agree. Lee’s father and my father would have gotten along splendidly. As would Lee and my father.
