One of them bite you? Are you telling me that at the tender age of 18, you
wouldn't have stopped for some hitchhiking cute woman in a short skirt?

Never saw any. By that time both hitchhiking and picking them up was,
well, let's say out of fashion. I believe I saw one in Raleigh trying
to hitch a ride on the beltway once. I wanted to pick her up, but
mainly because I wanted to ask her if she had lost her mind.
