Reminds me of Limburger's famous flight...
(We were on a train going through Germany in 1981 when one guy grabbed the smelly stuff someone else had brought onboard and tossed it out the window! ? )
Because they can become something else?
I mean, really, doesn't everyone new that you meet start out as a complete stranger?
Of course, that said, I've known some here for 20+ years and they just keep getting stranger! ?
