eh? Cho-dere?

Of course when Joe has gone to Japan, "Joe" of Sassoons comes for a visit. Even I think he looks like Joe. Maybe not in this picture, but in real life, he looks so errily like Joe, especially when he doesn't smile.
The second time "Joe" visits the salon, Melissa greets him, and mistakenly almost says "hey Joe." thinking it's my actual brother. Then she realizes it's a duplicate Joe. That very same day, Matthew and Joseph comment on how much he resembles Joe.
So I tell the real Joe there's a duplicate of him, complete with delicate wrists and fingers, small build, and gentle demeanor, and so Joe says "take a picture next time." Well today happens to be "the next time." I shampoo "Joe" and learn his name is Quang Nguyen (he's also Vietnamese). I jokingly tell him about how my brother, his twin, told me to take a picture of him, and so I say, "how silly would that be, asking you, I barely know you!" And then "Joe" is like "that's not that weird, I would do it!" Just bizarre enough that I happen to have my digi camera with me...
Quang (aka "Joe") takes off his hair cutting robe to reveal a snugly fitting t-shirt (Joe wouldn't wear that size- he would have opted for a size larger me thinks) that says 1979. I say "Bizarre! Joe was born that year." Quang says "so am I."
Karen: what month are you born in?
Quang: June.
K: NOOOO! Joe too! Gemini! ....wait, what day? (thinking to myself, no way it can be the same.)
Q:14th. I feel as though I have told Quang when Joe's birthday is (the 15th), and realize we haven't really spoken too much the past few times, and so he's not joking here.. Now how iNSANE is that eh? He was also born in the south of Vietnam, Joe in Saigon! Now that's all too weird.
Needless to say, I felt pretty odd taking his picture, but it wasn't that bad. (Remember Kiera Knightly!?)
