Meet Paul Matthews.
He’s so forgettable, you actually might have met him before, but maybe the moment didn’t stick in your memory. Paul is a bald, rumpled, uninteresting professor in oversized glasses who bores his students at a nondescript college with his lectures about how zebras don’t stand out due to their stripes; it’s quite the opposite, they keep their heads down to blend in with the herd. Just like Paul. He’s the kind of guy who never gets invited to the lively dinner parties held by his former college classmate and neighbor, the kind of guy who probably follows a few hundred “friends” on Facebook and is followed back by maybe 10 percent of the group.
