I like to hunt for indian artifacts (mainly spears, arrowheads, effigees, and large pieces of pottery) and I go with my buddies every now and then. We can talk around that. Sometimes a friend might be in a situation with a girlfriend (or not, and we're just making up stuff to talk around).

If you have a system set up with friends, getting on the phone and saying off-the-wall shit gets their attention. If they can agree to respond like normal to it you can talk around anything as long as you're clear that it's an untruth.

I just recently called a good friend to try and get rid of 2lb's by talking about how he (a businessman with a wife and three kids) said he wanted two full-size speaker cabs and I knew a guy who could get some. Needless to say, a different guy came over later who actually did want the cabs, and it looks nice and clean.

Just gotta find ways.
