Cunning PlansI once devised a totally foolproof cunning plan to attract the attention of bikini-clad women, which - as you might imagine - failed miserably. Ever come up with a cunning plan for something? Did it work? What went wrong? Do you look back through the filter of the years with a burning sense of shame?

To Pass UnseenThere was once an unusually-interesting guest on the old TV panel show "To Tell The Truth" (example here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-QSz4R7mR0). The guest had an unusual skill: he could pass through a room and meet and talk with everyone there, but no one could ever remember him afterwards. Lowered eyes and voice, and an uninspiring mien, made him so unmemorable that he was all but invisible. Indeed, as they showed on TV, he had already met all the panel members the previous week, but none of them ever recalled seeing him before.
I last used this man's method to pass through a sandwich line without alerting one of the sandwich makers (a friend) that I was there. I ordered my sandwich, passed directly in front of him, paid, sat down, and ate, and he never noticed.
The method always work when you want to surprise people by abruptly appearing in their midst without first alerting them. It's perfect for spies!
