One day in 2014

three guys went up to a black man sitting alone at a theatrical production of Cats.

Ben Carson? They asked.

Yes? The man said.

We want you to run for president. We have chosen you from a list of qualified candidates.

That's great! , the man says, and stuffs their business card in his pants pocket. They leave to let him watch the performance because intermission is coming to a close and the bells are ringing for people to take their seats.

When the theater is dark another man comes up and says: Thanks for holding my place, George, I am lucky to have such a convincing body double. I am lucky you look just like me!

Yes, says George, and under his breath he mutters: I am lucky to look like you. Enjoy the rest of the show Ben.

He walks out of the theater and takes out the business card when he is on the street. He reaches for his cell phone in his other pocket.
