I spent what seemed to be a good chunk of mine in a Barnes & Noble
bookstore with my wife and a good friend and the two well-dressed,
outgoing guys who came out of nowhere, looked at the "Huntingdon College
Jazz Ensemble" logo on my shirt, and started talking about jazz, having
positioned themselves strategically so that none of us could move away
from them without seeming to be rude. Neither seemed to know anything
about jazz, but that was okay because I quickly moved the topic to
something else, like what they did for a living. Both Air Force, which
isn't surprising, since this *is* an Air Force town. They were surprised
that I knew they were without them telling me, but they quickly moved on
to the fact that since my wife's expecting, and one of them has three
kids, that we should swap business cards, except neither of them had
theirs, so I should give them one of mine.

I mumbled something about not having business cards or a telephone and we
managed to get out of there, and then the three of us came back to my
house and made phony business cards for ourselves using our real first
names, our mother's maiden names, the company name Statistical Contact
Access Management, the phone # of the local Amway distributor, and the
FAX # of the local classified ad weekly. Oh, we also gave ourselves
nicknames, placed in quotes between our first and last names. I'm
"Lefty," he's "Poncho," and my wife is "Stumpy." Now we'll be ready the
next time we go to the bookstore.

So, does anyone want to give odds on whether these two were involved in
any sort of MLM scheme?
