This little gem comes from last weekend's trip to Nashville. We were at a "trailer park" bar (has an old car you can sit on, mismatching lawn furniture, old tires, green AstroTurf), having a few big boy pops, and who walks through the door? ABE LINCOLN. I, like other bar goers, couldn't believe me eyes. He looked just like Abe Lincoln. His beard was real, his eyes looked old and wise. He spoke very little. He had a top hat. I solicited him for the picture, and felt very uneasy talking with him. Quite possibly the strangest bar night I've ever had.
I spoke with our waitress, who tells us he is a real "Abe Lincoln impersonator." This brings up a multitude of questions:
- How does one choose this line of work?
- Are there fake impersonators?
- Is this a full-time job?
- Are his circle of friends fellow presidential impersonators?
