This is my life

I show Pete a picture of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, stylized by Annie Lebowitz for a Disney promotion.

Me: "Do you know who that is?"
Peter: "I don't know" He studies the picture. "Aladdin?"
Me: "No, darling. They're celebrities. What celebrities are they?"
Pete: Squints at the picture again. "I don't know. I honestly don't know."
Me: "Peter, that's Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony."
Peter: "Ohhh...ok. Ok. I mean, I don't know. How should I know? You know, I thought for a second it was that man from Pirates and the Caribbean...no, no...not Johnny Depp. The young one. What's his name? You know, Ham Sandwich...[he mumbles names of 4-5 photographers. I don't know why]...is it Freddie Prinze Junior? You know, for a second I was going to guess that the woman was Mariah Carey...Ohhh, ok. Ok. So that's J Lo. That's J Lo? That's the Lo."
Me: Sitting in stunned silence.

Hey I can understand this one. If it wasn't Cleopatra in the picture with marc antony, I'd have a hard time guessing too.

Wait, was jlo alive 2000 years ago? How did you find picture of the two of them together? Actually, how did you find a picture from 1800 years before the camera was invented?
