DJ Hazard is one of my favorite comedians. I saw him a number of times in Boston and then at the Borgata over spring break not too long ago. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=77027341. At the Borgata he got a crowd of retiree aged people to join him in a chorus of "untie my ankles in the morning."
He has a bit that I have sort of adopted as a part of my every day interaction with strangers.
A stranger walks up to you and asks for directions, you eagerly give them wrong directions and if they dont thank you, you let them go on their way, but if they thank you, then you stop them and say, yes, you have passed the test, here is the correct way to complete your journey.
So, now, when someone asks me for directions, where the bank is, where the bathroom is, why the line is long, why is he peeing on me, whever anyone asks a question that is not a requirement for me to answer, I just lie or tell them I dont work here.
This of course doesnt work out so well in dealing with clients, but they tenderly point out that, yes, you do work here and yes you shouldnt lie to us or yes we will report you to the bar association.

I will always make sure to thank you after I ask for directions from you... On second thought, I know where you live....
