Ernesto, buddy, give me another beer.

 

Sure, man.

 

Ernesto? Why do they call you Ernesto?

 

Oh, you haven’t yet heard the story?

 

Which story?

 

You know, I have been a bartender in this bar for almost 10 years now.

 

And it has become a common thing that people look at me and take pictures of me.

 

At first, I wondered why. Until, I asked somebody.

 

What is the secret?

 

It has turned out that I had a famous twin brother. I’m sure that you know him.

 

Who’s that?

 

Well, he has earned world-wide fame through his books.

 

He also lived in Key West for quite a while.

 

Oh, now I understand. You mean Hemingway.

 

Have you read his books?

 

No, I’ve heard that they’re OK but I don’t care for books myself.

 

However, I’ve come to like him because his books and his looks have brought me cash.

 

How is that?

 

I have studied his life just a little bit and I’ve learned to make myself look like him.

 

Now I mix the famous Hemingway daiquiri and tell people about “my” life.

 

And it works – they like it and they come back.

 

Cool. I could use that in my business.

 

Who do I look like?

 

H-m-m, let’s see, maybe Bud Spencer…?
