And the nominee is….

As I was getting the pulse down from a hard day’s work, I zapped through a few channels only to end up at the Letterman show. He is not really my style, but it’s been years since Leno was aired here in Denmark, so Letterman it was.
One of the guests was George Clooney promoting “The good German“, which actually looks quite interesting.
In the middle of the Letterman vs. Guest battle, C. strolls by the television from one of her random visits to the rabbit cage. She pauses and stares at the television. I feel a “who’s that?”-question coming up and prepare to explain about Clooney being voted the sexiest man alive 2006.
As I guessed, the question popped. So I explained how Clooney was a worldwide heartthrob and how he won People’s award yet again. The rest of the conversation went a little like this (upped the English a bit to make it readable):
C looks at me and says: “But he is very ugly?”
I put on my but-honey-face and said: “He’s the guy on the left. Not that man to the right. That’s David Letterman, and I agree that HE is hideous!”
C, now looking a bit upset my condescending tone, looks at me and counterattack: “I know I am talking about the man to the left. He’s very ugly! Bwwwaddr!” and pointed directly at Clooney.
Me: “Really? You think so? But all women find him very attractive? He’s funny too (thinking about it now I almost fall in love with him)?”
“You are much more handsome than him“, C replied and I could tell she was not lying or trying to butter me up.
That’s also the very same moment I know something must be horrible wrong with her. Let’s face it, I may be Brad Pittsque (who only ended up a lousy number 15), but nowhere near Clooney. Erhmm.
So there you have it ladies and gents: In this house I am voted most sexy man in the world.
I better go and get C’s eyes (and brain) checked out by a professional. Anyway I feel relieved that taste is different.
There really IS one for everybody!? That ought to make a few readers more calm, right?
Well, i’m not amazed… I also think you are a good looking guy, and you can give Clooney a run for his money ..
Now you know …
I think you’re a handsome devil too, Gregers.
