Lt. Dan?!?
It was time for a cigarette. And all corporate smokers have been relegated to the loading dock to indulge in their habit. To get the loading dock, you must travel on the freight elevator. Apparently, gone are the days of the smoking lounge, or even smoking at your desk. But that's a different issue all together. I made my way to the freight elevator and was greeted by two fellow smokers also waiting for the pullry system towards lung destruction. These two ladies were in the middle of a conversation so I simply gave them the polite "hello" head nod. And as if I weren't even there, they started discussing who they thought I looked like. I thought, "this is odd", but let it go.
Lady #1: "you know who he looks like?"
Lady #2: "no, who?"
Lady #1: "Greg Lewis"
Lady #2: "yeah, especially around the eyes"
Now I'm thinking, "who the hell is Greg Lewis?"
Apparently Greg Lewis is someone that these ladies work with, and based on listening to further conversation as we wait for the lift down to the loading dock, Greg Lewis resembles Gary Sinise when he played Lt. Dan in the movie Forrest Gump.
This whole situation is very surreal to me.
But, come on, I've been compared to a lot of people, but never Lt. Dan. Let alone some other assmonkey in the corporate setting that resembles Lt. Dan.
Very odd indeed.
