It's been cold in the morning here in the old Circle City, so I've been wearing my old biker jacket to work sometimes. Other days, I either take it off after work, or I wear something else.
When I DON"T wear the biker jacket, as I hobble into work on my crutches, visitors and new people will ask "What happened to you?" in an innocent enough tone that I feel comfortable enough to explain it to them.
When I DO wear the biker jacket, they say "Motorcycle accident?" and I just say "Yeah, the other guy wasn't lookin'". Then they just nod, and that's all.
But what if I'd really fallen off a roof, or been mauled by a stray dog? That whole scenario above wouldn't work then, would it? Yet that old jacket, by coincidence alone, provides the correct visual cue. Hmmm...
