Top Ten Places to Pick Up Your Friends

Not that any of these have happened recently, but in no particular order...

1. From an ominous visit to the clinic.
2. From the doorsteps of nondescript member of the opposite sex.
3. From the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.
4. From the adult dentention center in pajamas*.
5. From work after quitting/getting fired.
6. From a K-12 institution when either the pick-upper or pick-upee are too old for said institution
7. From the scene of a still-in-progress crime where pick-upee is either victim or perp.
8. From the Arecibo Observatory, the largest radio telescope in the world, in a helicopter (For England James? / No, for me).
9. From the friend's house at the crack of dawn, beginning a long coming-of-age road trip (doesn't have to be by way of automobile).
10. From the airport after decade plus absence.

*Pajamas are also included as a possibility in all of these pick-ups
