She wanted to wade into the crowd and have it out with them 1 on 300. She'd have probably won. I convinced her that her quick, punchy retort was the best possible response and it could only go downhill from there!
Funny thing, a bunch of the crowd turned and looked at us, but no one said anything in response to her. Maybe they were nonplussed by all the laughing cops?
Perhaps they were just nonplussed!
It is shocking for them to hear real people. This was probably their first trip to town (first trip off the Evergreen campus) in awhile, and they become a little culture-shocked when they re-enter the real world. We should invade them once in awhile and shout back. At least they weren't naked this time (unless you skipped that part of the story! ;~D)
