Clones

You ever seen the movie "Multiplicity", with Michael Keaton? It's about a guy who's so caught up in his job that he has no time for anything else. He's given the opportunity to be cloned, and things go crazy. It's a pretty good flick, you should check it out. But here's where I got thinking, just how much fun would it be to have a clone....really. I've always thought it would be cool to clone myself. Then I would have someone bad ass I could race, someone I could Jam with, someone to help me train, etc. But then it hit me, I would really piss me off!
Think about it, I love riding my motorcycle, it's my favorite thing. If my clone and I had Identical bikes and had the same time to practice on the same track, it would be a very boring race. There wouldn't be anywhere I was faster than he, we'd be thinking of the same lines, and hitting the same jumps at the same speed (because we're the same!)
Playing guitar with myself might be cool, except I'd have nobody to play the lead parts. It would just be the 2 of us playing the same notes the same way.
And I know I would get on my nerves. Comedy needs a victim, that's just the way it is. Every joke I've ever told was always at someone else's expense. I would get tired of making fun of myself and try to kick my clone's ass! But that in itself would be a quandry! How good of a fight could erupt between two people of identical strength, size, build, and fighting style? It would be stalemate.
On second thought, I'll stay cloneless. If only for the sake of my own sanity.

Yeah, I'm pretty deep. Thanks for reading.
