Saw another Morgan Freeman movie today and it got me to thinking, if my life was an "audiobook"...who would I want to read it for the recording?

So, if your life was a book, which actor, cartoon hero, action figure, supermodel, fictional character(?) whatever...would you want to record it for listening by "the masses"?

Part of me thought my life's story should be read by Bart Simpson...for several reasons, then I changed my mind and thought maybe Homer Simpson might be better.

I’d like my life’s story to be told by Barney Fife to ensure nobody took anything I did or said too seriously:

Eddie Izzard.

I think lots of stuff I do is funny, but it won't matter how wrong I am about that if he reads it.

The afro (even though its just audio) would find a way to through it off.

My life's been pretty dysfunctional, he usually plays the Dad of a dysfunctional family.
