I passed a sign near the Kansas-Oklahoma border that read “Hitchhikers may be escaped inmates.” On a serious note, I appreciate the warning to drivers. But mostly, the sign sounded like a Mad Lib. It got me thinking about all the other possibilities: Hitchhikers may be Olympic pole vaulters. Hitchhikers may be snake charmers. …may be violinists, roller skaters, fluent in Farsi, Trekkies, champion poker players, puppeteers, astronauts- anything. It’s a good exercise to imagine what any of us could be.
