C.Andyman,
At work, I wear coveralls, a greasy old tool belt that weighs about 40 pounds, a flashlight thingy like you described, and to top it off...I cruise around on a three wheel bicycle with a freaking basket!
Sometimes I buzz across the street on the bike to get a cup of coffee. The street is actually a 4 lane busy artery...people slam their brakes on and wave me across. I can see it in their eyes" the poor old bald retard" out for a jaunt on the trike.
