i thought you might appreciate this story:
I was on a plane back to connecticut from ohio, where I had just attended my grandfather's funeral. I was still dressed in a suit and tie (that my mother picked out of course) and I was sitting next to an attractive lady around my age.
I pulled out my trusty issue of The Economist and started to read it and -of course- within minutes she interrupted me and asked if i was in fact reading The Economist. Conversation ensued for the remainder of the flight.
Turns out she is a graduate of MIT, an Engineer with a good job, also coming home from her grandmother's funeral, into punk rock and beer, and reads The Economist. whoa.
