“Once, I had the ambiguous honor of receiving the attention of two nazi-skinheads because they did not like my looks. After a rapid check my range of choices seemed limited. Manners don`t enjoy much success with people having SS soldiers in war gear printed on T-shirts. Also,a brawl with two guys who don`t care too much about getting hurt as long as they can hurt you more is not a brilliant idea. Both gentleness and toughness would probably have done little in avoiding a fight. Having nothing to gain from what seemed to be an inevitable fight , I did the only thing they didn`t expect.I began my best imitation of the reddest redneck on the planet. As I loudly expressed opinions Hitler would have found a bit too reactionary, I saw the most complete confusion in their eyes. Maybe for the first time in their lives , they had met someone who was clearly and embarrassingly dumber than they were. Stunned and uneasy they gave up their hostilities. Before leaving them to their destiny I received from the two gentleman directions and an offer of gum.”
