My office is in midtown New York City. I walk to my client almost every day. On my route there is a building that every once and a while will have what looks to be four S.W.A.T. men. They have black helmets, mirrored sunglasses and bulletproof vests. Each are armed with large automatic rifles. Two stand guard by a limousine and the other two guard the door of the building. I have no idea who warrants such protection and what said person is afraid of. I could not even tell you what the building is home to. But I do wonder about the situation.
One day on my travels I spotted the S.W.A.T. team in position. However, this time there was an elderly couple talking to one of the men. I imagined they were asking about who needed such protection so I sauntered over to overhear the conversation. When I was close enough to hear I burst out laughing. The elderly couple were asking directions.
I tried to imagine the thought process. ‘There is a nice looking young man with an automatic weapon. Surely he will give us directions.’ On the other hand maybe they were a decoy to an attack. I didn’t stay to find out.

Not bad.
That's a riot. "See those nice men with the semi-automatics? Let's ask them if they know where that big park is..." "Yes, dear. they do look awfully ready to help!"
Hi,
Did they remove their shades while talking to the elderly couple ?
It's rude to talk to people using shades....
I'd give them a quarter if they didn't :-)
Best regards,
José
