amnesiac pianist found floating in ocean

Dripping wet and deeply disturbed, the smartly-dressed man was discovered walking along a windswept road beside the sea. Over the next few days he steadfastly refused, or was unable, to answer the most simple questions about who he was or where he had come from.

It was only when someone in hospital had the bright idea of leaving him with a piece of paper and pencils that the first intriguing clue about the stranger's past emerged. He drew a detailed sketch of a grand piano. Excited, hospital staff showed him into a room with a piano and he began to skilfully perform meandering, melancholy airs. Several weeks later he has still not spoken a word, expressing himself only through his music.
I can't think of a single 'Bourne Identity' pun dammit.

retarded Bourne Identity joke: They knew he was a pianist because they found a laser pointer that shone the notes to the intro of Fur Elise embedded in his hip.

I thought he was sick or something but I heard the lables were cut out of his clothes and he had nothing to give investigators any clue as to his origins. Spooky indeed :eek:
