My friend Bruce tells a story of when he was a teenager and he and his
brother were looking at magazines in a drugstore, under a big sign that
said "No Loitering".  An older, female drugstore employee came up to
them, said "Can't you read?", and pointedly looked up at the sign.
Bruce's brother Norm--who didn't really know what loitering meant--
looked at her, looked at the sign, looked back at her, and said: "So,
who's smoking?"  She was so flustered that she left them alone.
