Every Marty's a comedian, or, every comedian's a Marty

As I strode out of my neighborhood dollar store yesterday I heard the sound of a man's raucous laughter. Then I heard, "Hey, hey!"

I turned towards the call and pointed at myself. "Me?" I asked stupidly of this fella standing about 50 feet away.

"Yeah you. You look like that comedian, uh, what's his name. Don Rickles. You look like Don Rickles."

"O-kay. Thanks, I guess," I responded.

"No, no, not him," the guy began again. Apparently thinking deeper he decided, "Jack Benny. That's right, Jack Benny. You look just like him."

I just laughed and got into my van and drove home. I'm still not sure what his intentions were.

What a hockey puck though.
