1. Swap Meets and Flea Markets...

.
...are usually GREAT people-watching places.
.
Took a friend from college to a HUGE flea market in Amish country once and
there were a number of military surplus tables. She experienced "Soldier of
Fortune" magazine for the first time and was fascinated (by the weirdness
of the concept). She bought several magazines to take back to her Sociology
prof.
.
When we walked away from the table, I whispered, "Don't look now, but you
just accidentally gave that vendor a secret patriotic militia "hand signal" and
he's following us. Don't be surprised if he stops us to talk.
.
When her eyes got big and she started to turn, I hissed, "DON'T LOOK!!!"
.
We walked a few more steps and she asked, "HEY!!! How do YOU know the sign?
.
Out of the corner of my mouth, I asked, "Do we REALLY know other people?"
.
Relax... I didn't keep her uber-paranoid for more than a minute or so longer.
