Today while swimming in the local pool I was told by one of the regular ladies that swim there that “I looked more like Rod Stewart every day”.

I took this slight in good humour only shaking my fist at her and by doing so nearly sinking in the water. Two of the Afterworders have seen me recently and I’m sure they can vouch for my non rodstewartalikey looks. It appears my hair had been raised when I entered the pool as as it got damper it flattened, and I was then accused that I was trying my best to not look like Rod.

I’ve been mistaken for a few people in my time but I never expected being compared to Rod, though we did have someone years ago in the local Town who sported a Rod haircut years ago.

Is there a witty rejoinder I can offer the next time I see her, and not the most obvious Rod based answer.
