Clueless in SF

Last night, I got into a cab and told the driver to take me to 1325 Columbus in North Beach.

Cabbie: “Are you sure you want to go there?”

Me: “Uhhh, yeah, why?”

Cabbie: “I don’t know.  Maybe you’d want to go some place like Burning Man with me.”

Me: “Why would you say that?”

Cabbie: “You totally look like a Burner.”

Me: “Seriously?  That’s so weird.  No one suspects that I’m a Burner.  That’s so funny you think I am.  I mean, I am, but no one knows just from looking at me.”

Cabbie: “I knew as soon as you got into my cab.”

So I was totally oblivious that my Burning Man friend Hector was the cab driver.  That’s how dense I am these days.
