Fake it!

When I was in college, the band would play a concert at a children's
hospital in Atlantic City, NJ, in the summer. One of these summers fell
during the gas crisis in the late seventies. Our idiot bus driver didn't
get gas while we were in Atlantic City, and we ended up stuck in a
mile-long gas line on the highway on a Sunday evening. A few of us got
out of the bus and started entertaining people who were waiting in their
cars by improvising "Saints". The people in line really enjoyed it, but
the policeman at the station was not amused and made us get back on the
bus. Some people!
