British Sports Presenter




Whilst in the British Isles my family kept noticing people staring at me and giving me “knowing” nods. Then I began to notice it. At first I immediately thought about my zipper, as most guys do. But every time I checked I was fine. This kept happening throughout the trip. It wasn’t until we were near the end of the trip that we discovered what was happening. A waiter kept giving me funny looks. He wasn’t our waiter but he kept hovering for some reason. After our meal he finally seemed to break down after he heard me talk and tell me what the kerfuffle was all about. “You look just like one of our famous sports presenters,” he said. And what do you say to that other than, “oh?” You see, he knew I wasn’t the celebrity he thought I was the minute he heard my American accent. And, if you have not figured it out already, “sports presenter” translated into American is sportscaster. I failed to get the name of the famous sports presenter, but the rest of the trip I continued to get those “knowing” nods. So I did a little research and could not find one single presenter that reminded me of me. But I did find a combination of sports presenters that may, if blended properly, be an exact image of my visage. You be the judge.
