Okay, Setting: Mom & I, plus about ten other people, standing in line at the post office. Add one more-than-just-slightly paranoid father, with his child standing next to him, waiting for a worker to return from the back (I didn't know that he was waiting for someone to check on something until just before we got to the front of the line)
RJ: Me
M: Mom
PG: Paranoid Guy
OW: Office Worker
and
ST: Suspected Terrorist
ST: *walks right past the line, up to the counter where PG is standing, drops off a box, says something I didn't catch, and walks off*
PG: *watches the woman walk off, looks at package, and starts in* Isn't that kind of a security threat?
OW: Why? We've got cameras all over, we have her picture already.
PG: But, they wouldn't let you leave a package unattended at the airport.
RJ:*to M* I see no planes here...
OW: There's nothing to worry about, sir.
PG: Doesn't that... seem kind of suspicious, though?
RJ: *again, to M* Not really... maybe her package was just too big for the drop slot?
And so on... until another worker came and told the PG that he didn't have any mail yet.
