This Just In . . .
The staff at a hotel in Cancun, Mexico kicked out Nobel Prize winner Rigoberta
Menchu when they
mistook
her for a bag lady.
Meanwhile, Stephen King was mistaken
for a vandal in an Australian bookshop when he wandered in off the street
and began signing books.
And now for some music:

Rigoberta Menchu is less honorable than most bag ladies - at least the ones in the US, I'm not sure about Cancun. She has prestige based on falsehoods, and fame based on the prestige, but being mistaken for a bag lady is otherwise a step up for her.
