You look soooo different

[Danmel]

Do you think that's a good thing or not a good thing?

I was at a meeting yesterday for work. I work as a legislative aide and it was a town board meeting about a major development in our district.

A constitutent came over to me, said hi to me by name and then said "I didn't recognize you for a minute, you look soooo different!"

Haven't gained/lost weight recently or changed hair color or style significantly..

So whaddya think? Good thing or not a good thing??

3. I would have asked "How so?"

But I'm guessing they meant to pay you a compliment or they wouldn't have brought it up.

6. This happens all the time to me when meeting people I haven't seen in years. But ...

I have lost a huge amount of weight (in excess of 100lbs) and I really DO look different.

My ex-husband even introduced himself to me at a family function I had to attend. I hadn't seen him in 8 years LOL
He didn't know who I was.

I think you should take it as a compliment.

7. Correct response: "Because I am a different person ever since I found Buddha"

also works with "Jesus", "Allah", and "the Flying Pasketti Monster".

For some reason, the joke does not work with "Kali, Lord of Destruction"

10. Lol

That also works for getting out of jury duty!

9. Yesterday I watched a video of our band playing a gig about 12 years ago.

I looked soooo different, and so did the other guys. Many laughs.
