Spatch's Laws of Public Venues

[spatch]

Given any number of people mulling about in a public space, such as a subway entryway, Common or other such touristy area, the following rules apply:

1. Two or more people hanging around wearing the same type of shirt are up to no good, and
2. People with clipboards have ulterior motives, so consequently
3. People with clipboards who are wearing the same type of shirt are just out to get you.

These are IRREFUTABLE TRUTHS OF LIFE, people. This TRANSCENDS mere cynicism. Believe it!

EEEEEEEEK indeed. So far I've been lucky enough not to encounter them directly on the T, but I seem to be constantly finding (and throwing out) their literature that has been left on trains or in stations.
