Has anything as weird as this ever happened to you?
I was standing in a FOUR-HOUR LINE at the DMV (I could go on an angry tangent here, but I won't), minding my business, and reading LOTR for the first time.
A man in front of me who looked suspiciously like a serial killer suddenly turned around, glanced at the book I was reading, and said:
"Ya know, it's funny that you're reading this, because you look exactly like Galadriel. I did these improvised sketches of her, and you could be the inspiration behind them, but I've never met you before. Would you like to come over and let me show them to you sometime? I mean, look at your eyes! Your forehead! Your cheekbones! If only you're hair was brigher. Maybe we could dress you up in a white gown!"
Needless to say, the only thing that prevented me from high-tailing it out of there was the fact that I had stood in line for two hours already, and didn't want to let the time go to waste.
