Have you noticed this never happens around the movie campfires?
In Boy Scouts we would send the tenderfoots over to the next camp, to ask for the left-handed smoke shifter, lol.

When i was new working on a ship I was sent to find a universal something-or-other.
I guess it was funny for the tricksters, but it was a way to learn my way around the ship and meet a lot of new people.

If you really want to avoid them, change "Tourettes" to "homicidal rage"Borg said:

A routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in the Outback one night.
After the last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.
After what seemed an eternity, in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as some other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally, he started the car; switched the wipers on and off, despite it being a fine, dry summer night; flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn, and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left.
At last, when he was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test.
To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all!
Dumbfounded, the officer said, “I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.”
“I doubt it,” responded the truly proud man. “Tonight I’m the designated decoy.”

Near where I went to school there was a company that did painting on tractors, which we always thought was a bit of a niche market. It took them about a year to replace the letter C that had fallen off their building.berkeman said:
