I've heard of that, actually. [Not in so many words, but it's not an idea that's entirely specific to a modern society. The idea of identical strangers switching places to live life as the other one does and see the troubles from both sides is a cliche, after all.] And it is romantic- if it were real, I can't think of any scenario where the pauper doesn't take a good chunk of the gold and fucking books it. 'S what I would do. Fortunately, it's just a story and we don't look enough alike to pull it off.
