foi Eric Nicol A What Do You Say After You Say Hello is the title of a paperback nostrum that a lot of you summer vacationers are reading while you wait for the rain-water to drain out of your sleeping bag Making friends quickly is particularly important at this time of year holidays because often you have only a week or so before your spouse returns from visit visiting ¬ ing Mother in Scotland Jet travel has accelerated the Informal Introduction and added peril to any tendency to stutter In my considerable experience as an observer of people breaking the ice as we say in the clinic the problem is not what to say after you say hello Goodbye buthow to say hello in the first place or indeed to make any sound besides heavy breathing Chances are right this minute you are scanning this column in order not to be too obvious about gazing hungrily at a gorgeous hunk of humanity sporting on the beach What do you say to that sexpot to get its atten attention ¬ tion when it is beset by so many other external stimuli some of them wear wearing ¬ ing disgustingly short shorts Here are a number of introduction gambits which have proven effective in tests conducted at Wreck Beach a popular seaside behavior laboratory and driftwood centre near Van Vancouver ¬ couver 1 The Brash Approach You run up to the Desired Object and say Pardon me but theres something I think you should know me I have had 76 per cent suc success ¬ cess with this method though so far it has not been used on humans To cocker spaniels and most breeds of cats- however it seems to be engratiating especially if accompanied by a bowl of chopped liver 2 The Non verbal Ploy If you become tongue tied addressing a complete stranger in a public place you may prefer the silent treatment which consists of setting up your deck chair about five feet away from the Desired Object cross crossing ¬ ing your legs in that direc direction ¬ tion and hanging a sign around your neck BODY LANGUAGE SPOKEN HERE The subtlety of this approach charms persons whose distrust of the spoken word has reached the point of paranoia That is most folks 3 The Mock official Con Confrontation ¬ frontation This approach to the Desired Object is based on the sound princi principle ¬ ple that everyone is relieved even grateful to find that he is not being arrested The procedure is for you to put on a forest1 wardens hat walk up to the DO and say Did you get a permit To do what asks the DO To light my fire If you can release a thin stream of smoke through your nos nostrils ¬ trils as you say this you should create an effect that is totally disarming I say should because the only time I tried the fire permit approach the lady threw sand on me till she was sure I was put out 4 Eye Contact Eye con contact ¬ tact is vital to any informal introduction because if you stare at the feet of the Desired Object the DO may mistake you for some kind of fetishist and call the police On the other hand it can be hard to establish eye contact with a person who is wearing mirrored sun glasses or whose eyes are closed because the person is lying in the embrace of a third party To test the receptivity of the Desired Object to eye contact close one eye slowly then open it winking If the DOs face remains impassive repeat the movement using the other eye Should this too fail to elicit a response waggle your eyebrows furi furiously ¬ ously stick a cigar into your mouth and slope off as if you have been doing an imitation of Groucho Marx Tky sMMSixszzsmnmrmiM wolco DEPARTMENT STORES division of iw wcciiaohih co no
