I have one those faces no one seems to want to talk to. Don't know why, but when I strike up a conversation in line, people always look surprised. When I chat up sales clerks, they look relieved.

When visiting New York with my friend, and walking on the streets, he always gets stopped for directions. Me, they never ask for directions.

And when I'm deep in thought people ask if I'm feeling OK. I just tell them it hurts to think.
