Actually, that last post reminds me that Bert doesn't just look like Krusty the Clown. The same mad hair thing gives him a passing resemblance to John McEnroe.
The first time Bert got mistaken for McEnroe was when we were in one of the theme parks in Orlando. A couple of pretty teenage girls ran up to him screaming, "It's John McEnroe!" Rather than disappoint them he went ahead and signed their autograph books.
(As McEnroe, not Bert. But imagine: you recommend this blog to all your friends, and they recommend it to their friends and so on, and suddenly it really takes off, and then an agent says Hey, this should be a book. And then one day, in Florida or wherever, some girls run up to us screaming, "It's Bert!!" ).
Anyway, the second time was recently in a car park when a couple came over and the guy said, "Hey, did you know you look just like John McEnroe?". We chatted politely for a couple of minutes and related the Florida anecdote, and then as they went off the guy said, "It's a real coincidence, because I look just like Liam Neeson." "Oh, yes, now you come to mention it...," we said.
But he really didn't.
When I started this post I was thinking that actually I didn't personally really see the John McEnroe thing. But I just did an image search and I suddenly got it. It's Bert!
(And the funny thing is, we're always telling him off for tucking his shirt in his shorts.)
