23 CommentsOverheard in New York’s humor generally relies on the fact that readers are missing context. One of yesterday’s posts, however, relies on the fact that any Columbia student worth their salt knows exactly who they’re talking about.
Guy #1: Which one did you make out with?
Guy #2: I dunno, I can’t tell the difference. Whichever one is Jessica.

@Anonymous haha, that junior feels salty.
@Anonymous the joke is so well known that you don’t even need to use the Carmen modifier. “the twins” is more than enough.
@Anonymous HAHAHAH
@Anonymous slightly confused gets points for using the word “rapier”
@Anonymous it’s Overheard’s original post.

@slightly confused is the roger rabbit reference part of the original post, or just the bwog’s own rapier wit?
@freshman thanks for the clarification!
@For those who are confused. Consult the November 2005 issue of the Blue and White . The Fileri twins did an excellent writeup of them.
@not a freshman joke and continue to dress close to identically… was a big campus joke for a long time……
@Anonymous its a senior joke you idiot. They are still called the carmen twins 4 years later http://columbia.facebook.com/profile.php?id=107314
@not a freshman joke wow. times have changed. i guess they’re seniors now, but there’s a pair of twin sisters that lived together in carman and took all the same classes..
@still in the dark I too am not worth my salt. I don’t know any carman twins. Most non-freshmen probably don’t know either. Explain!
@junior sorry, we don’t all get freshmen jokes
@jfk Now they are famous!
@hint CARMAN TWINS
@Anonymous guess I’m not worth my salt
@Allison this is priceless.
