Poster I saw once that I wish I had:

Two almost sexless entities in tie-died clothes & fringed jackets, beads, long hair and wisps of smoke curling around encounter 'standard' person:

Standard person: "What's going on?"
Long haired entities: "We're fighting the rising tide of conformity!"
Standard person: "What's all this then?"
Entities: "This is our uniform."

I knew 'hippies'...even met Alan Ginsberg in a poetry reading/coffee house..*grin*....but was too busy to study how to be one. (And when I was in Lawrence, Kansas, the Attorney General of the state, Vern Miller, raided the hippies and tear-gassed them...right up the street from my house. I always thought I had made the right choice about who to look like.)
