[nq:1]"if I were any better, I would be twins" Could anyone tell me why "twins" is used in this expression? [/nq] It's a joke. The speaker is trying to say that there is no possible way for a single person to be better than s/he is.

I know...sweet, decent, polite: I'm just an all-around nice guy. Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth.
No one in this particular group could possibly disagree with me about that; no way, no how.
