The best way to make a first impression 101
By a disaster
So I was in town and saw one of my old secondary school squad with his gf and his aunt, so I ran over to say hi.
Of course, just when I get to them my foot slips out from under me and I land flat on my back in front of loads of people (two of which being the aforementioned gf and aunt of my friend).
After I got back up and salvaged what was left of my damaged pride and self esteem I managed to say hi, and Chris asked his aunt if she could tell the difference between me and my twin @TurtleHugger7, who was busy laughing her ass off at my embarrassment.
The response he got was "of course I can, one's horizontal and one's vertical."
