Today at Times Square. Fast talking Italian who doesn't leave a gap in the conversation. Started off with directions to the airport. Wanted to thank me for taking the time. 3 Suits and a Coat for the wife. If I wanted to repay him for his generosity, I could buy an iPhone for his wife in return. He put the suit on me. About 4 inches too short - 'that's how the Italians wear a suit'. He offered to contribute 500Dhs for the iPhone. The final clincher for me was that his car wasn't a hire car, although I must admit I was almost convinced. I told him I could accept his generosity, but wan't willing to buy an iPhone in return. He cleared off then
