A white-bearded, 64-year-old North Carolina investment banker has won Key West's annual Ernest Hemingway look-alike contest.
Greg Fawcett of Cornelius bested 139 other ``Papa'' Hemingway Look-Alike contestants during his 10th attempt Saturday. It also marked the 113th anniversary of the late author's birth.
Competitors in sportsman's attire competed at one of Hemingway's favorite bars, Sloppy Joe's. A panel of former winners judged the contest.

In addition to being a great writer, Hemmingway was a big game hunter and deep sea fisherman - I don't think he would've liked being kissed by another man B^) :

My nomination for a *Hem-Look-a-Like*...IMHO a far more interesting and heroic historical figure. Had far bigger cojones than Papa ever hoped to have.
