As we were flying to Alabama for a Porsche Sport Driving camp a grumpy Flight attendant kept walking up and down the isle and gave me what I thought was a glare. Finally as the flight was descending she comes over and says, "I am sure people tell you all the time that you look like Ellen DeGeneres". She finally had a cheery smile on her face as I answered, "Yes people do tell me all the time". She walked away with an even bigger smile on her face and says…”I thought so”.
At the end of a long day at the Porsche Sport Driving School , a group of us were walking back to our rooms across a large patio area. On the other side of the patio was a large party of people gathering. As I looked over at the group, several people started to wave frantically in our direction. I nodded my head towards them and smiled. At the same time our new friends asked if we know them. I said “No, I think they think, I look like Ellen”. “Ohh yeah…” they say…”of course you do…we can totally see that.” The rest of the evening they called me Ellen.
Still in Alabama , we go into a restaurant. The hostess - an overly friendly Southern Gal, says in her best Southern accent… “Oh my word…did you know you look just like Ellen DeGenerate?” As I told her that yes a lot of people tell me that I look like Ellen and in fact Ellen herself has even told me I look like her, she says back…”Yes ma’am…I apologize for staring but I just couldn’t help myself”
As we were seated looking over the menu I could hear the same voice in the kitchen telling all the staff how much I look like Ellen, and then I overheard another voice respond to her…”I thought the same thing”.
