TPF Noob!
You know, I actually used a variant of that once too. I was out shooting some old, abandoned industrial stuff on the TVA reservation, way off the beaten path. I know I probably wasn't supposed to be there, but anyway this TVA guy in a truck pulls up and very rudely asks if I have permission to be there and who was I with... "I'm a lifestyle corespondent for Al Jazeera, and I'm looking for the hippie colony. Have you seen it?"... If I am out on my own for fun I tell them I am with Al Jazeera.
He just looked at me like I'd lost it.
