The Ficus hasn't defriended me yet so I think we're still good.

[Jim]

I miss the Ficus. I may have to start insulting Sally just so I get sent to visit.

My husband encountered his doppelgänger a few years ago when we were at the grocery store. It was pretty crazy because I watched both of them stop and look at each other then turn around and do a double take. All of which happened simultaneously.

[Bibliophile]

It seems I have a doppelgänger, or perhaps several. Through the years, strangers have approached me and mistaken me for a nurse, a Russian, a reality show contestant and a show girl. When I politely denied being any of those things, they insisted. "No, no, I'm sure! you were dancing in that club last Saturday! You were great!" I'm not sure I like my doppelgänger.

[Susan]

That is good, Barb!

[Heidi]

Bibliophile, does your doppelganger, per chance, go by the name "Patricia"?

[Bibliophile]

Heidi, how on earth did you know?!

Good idea Barb. Not sure what's worse though, being mistaken for a stripper or a reality show celebrity.

Sally's doppelgänger is Anne Brontë (left).

[Susan]

She looks full of angst. Must be due to the fact that her sister's breasts are so perky.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Hers are perky too. But I do see a nipple on the one on the right.

Which is a little creepy because the painting was done by their brother, Branwell.

[Susan]

Ewww. Sally's doppelgänger brother is a total perv.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

See, Branwell was originally in the painting but painted himself out due to guilt over the nipple.

[Susan]

I wondered what that giant looming phantom of the opera head shadow was doing there.
It is probably easier to spy on his sisters and their teats that way.

[Félix]

Sisterly nipple guilt is a terrible thing. Or so I've read.

[Susan]

Is it guilt over not having the nice nipple or over having the nicer nipple?

[Susan]

Is it guilt over not having the nice nipple or over having the nicer nipple?

[Félix]

I wouldn't know.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It's guilt over having a doppelnipple.

[evie]

Or seeing the nipple?

[Félix]

I wouldn't know.

[Susan]

Guilt over seeing the doppelnipple and not having it, twice.

[Félix]

Cake and eat it, too. Er . . .

[Susan]

Um...

[evie]

All this nipple nonsense is fun.

[Susan]

It usually is, Evie.

[Félix]

Double nickel.

[Susan]

Double nickel minimum.

[Félix]

I'll drink to that.

[Susan]

So will sunglass Jesus.

[Phil]

Let us pray...
