Don't talk to strangers!

OK, today we make an exception. The following was overheard in Regina, but because Saskboy is a loyal reader, we'll bend the rules and pass along his submission.

A couple (let's call them Cliff and Mary for the sake of easy identification) meets a stranger on the sidewalk outside an apartment building . . .

Mary to male stranger: Hi!

Male stranger: Hello!

Cliff to Mary: You're going to get stabbed. This is Regina. I've seen stabbings . . .
