But it's a neat story, if you like Ventura.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASHEVILLE, N.C.--As the former governor of Minnesota browsed through a local pipe shop looking for a humidor, a customer gave him a double glance before uttering, "You look a lot like Jesse Ventura."
Ventura smiled wryly, winked and retorted, "A lot of people tell me that."
Nearly a year and a half removed from office, Ventura is 31 pounds lighter, sports a dark beard and no longer shaves the sides of his famous dome. With a Cohiba cigar locked firmly in his mouth and looking more like Cuban dictator Fidel Castro than his most recent and refined political incarnation, Jesse "The Body" Ventura continues to evolve.
He's worn a number of hats over the years -- biker, Rolling Stones bodyguard, Navy SEAL, pro wrestler and announcer, pro football commentator, movie star, suburban mayor, governor, talk show host, Harvard professor.
His next step, he hints, could be a run for the nation's highest office.
"Anything is possible," bellows the gravel-voiced Ventura
