Bender Vs Flexo
I have a reasonably identical twin brother. He is not that evil. In fact I am probably more of the Bender than the Flexo to be perfectly honest. Or so I thought.

Last year we thought it would be hilarious if we both went to each others Christmas party to impersonate each other. We didn’t think anyone would notice but we both tried to subtly ruin each others reputation and make bizarre claims about ‘ourselves’. As long as it wasn’t too outlandish and plausible and it didn’t ruin our careers it would be ok. We could always pretend it was the booze.

So I outed him as a repressed vegetarian and refused to eat the turkey. I wrote an odd poem on a napkin and gave it to his secretary. I also claimed that ‘I’ was planning to go to Neasden for ‘my’ holidays this year as a social experiment.

All fairly harmless I thought.

He claimed that my poor vision has miraculously cured itself because he went to church the weekend previously and embraced Jesus into ‘my’ life (his explanation as to why he didn’t wear glasses when I do). He claimed that ‘I’ had an allergy to cranberry sauce and that’ I’ would die if ‘I’ tasted it. He also rather disturbingly claimed that ‘I’ am homosexual to the HR rep.

This was too much.

This got me into particular trouble as I when I came back to work I found that ‘my’ informal application to sit on my company’s LGB committee had been accepted by HR and to which I couldn’t readily escape without renouncing ‘my’ homosexuality.

Curse you Flexo! (also hi spaz, you read this, don’t you?)

Any suggestions for me to get him back next time we swap?

Hmmm.... bring a ruler and a protractor. twitch a bit, and then check the angles of everything in the room. wash your hands a few times, and then do it again.

He should have an email from HR asking if there's anything they can do to help him with his workplace disability in the morning.
