That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 06, 2022

The artist and his stunt double.

“This is my pale older brother who accompanies me on the sandpaper.”

the Stinkmeyer brothers before they changed the family name to “Stradivarius”

/// Two French artists have painted each other.

They’re good friends; each as close as a brother.

Both are just twenty-three

and, from what we can see,

the same man may have bedded each mother.

The Corsican Painters Reunite.

Henny Youngman " Just the other day the topic of copycats came up. They said it just a mere expression of admiration. I said it’s a spineless attempt to mimic having a personality. Take my brother. Please!"

“And this is me before I was resuscitated”

Even in her younger days, before she met John, Yoko was into musicians.

“He who smelt it, dealt it. I present to you your flatulator.”

“Hey I just play here, he wrote this crap”

Hi, I’m Larry, and this is my brother Daryl, & my other brother, Daryl.

I’d like you to meet Death, warmed over.

“Oh, I’m just showing him how I do a prostate exam.”

It’s a secret of these two that may never be known. / Though many have searched and turned every stone. / But it remains to be said, / Like the chicken or the egg, / Which is the original and which is the clone?

And here we have Claude and Claude/

One’s real, and the other’s a fraud./

One can never relax/

Being made out of wax:/

That one is by Madame Tussaud.

Well, if you can’t afford my cellist services for your fundraiser you can always hire my dufus of a brother here who does some lovely balloon animals and armpit noises.

My couturier who does my nails.

“Claude One” plays a great “Delta Blues”-/

That cello, he knows how to use !/

Since his “baby done gone”/

From the “Bouches du Rhône”/

He been moanin’ ‘bout “Temps Perdus”…///

Still sadder is “Claude number two”/

True luvin’ he ain’t never knew../

The reason he’s pale/

Is those long years in jail/

For those seventeen people he slew…///

Claude Two will survive through the ages/

A presence on History’s pages./

But Claude One lost his head/

And he’s better off dead/

Since the French don’t put killers in cages..

The artist saved money by always hiring only one model. You should see his crowd scenes!!

Nick could not continue his concert until his personal chiropractor fixed his finger.

“And our other brother teaches potions at Hogwarts.”

“Ta Da, I built it myself from a Heath Kit.”

" Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Tucker Carlson’s summer replacement. He’s white! He’s Right! He’s always uptight! Here’s the tail of the FOX … the Count of Qanon … Mr. Sparkle, himself, … J.B. Champagne!!! "

This is Ludwig. He is my life style partner!

“And you said you would never meet anyone more pale and pasty than me. Here you go.”

Champaigne and Plattemontagne were the Cheech and Chong of their time.

Lewis and Martin? Abbott and Costello? Rowan and Martin?

There’s similarity in their eyes, noses, and chins. / One favors cellos, the other violins. / But Mama let it slip / That they were once joined at the hip, / This pair of former Siamese Twins.

Hey, folks. I was just showing my twin brother the secret Masonic handshake.

Hmmm…

…looks like a Bassa viola da braccio to me…

The musical duo weren’t a hit until one of them switched to playing the washboard and eefing.

“Great moments in . . . . nah.” :)

John’s and Paul’s ancestors also were songwriters. The guy on the left looks like John, and I think that is a left-handed cello.

With a name like Plattmontagne, you know he’s gotta be good !

Hello! guys, meet my husband who is going to sing wile i play on my instrument, he can play too.

I was just showing Mikey how to please a woman. DUCK

/// It’s been said our resemblance is phony.

I’m too ruddy and he is too bony.

Well, I have to admit

that we’ve faked it a bit

to do ads for “Which twin has the Toni?”

It’s those sexy dead cellists who get my blood pumping.

The year is 1654

and their haristyles are just de rigeur

but to both of their shame

their outfits are the same

a low crime dans le monde haut couture

Would you like to join our fraternity? Where we look alike, and dress alike, and act alike, and …

What did we do in the mmmoooornin?

Ha! We aint sayin!
