Take any two strangers, place them in a room and the odds
are they will ignore each other until the level of discomfort rises.
Put any two strangers on a bus and, most likely, they will
each stare out of the window rather than engage.
Take one stranger and set him on the shore and put the
second stranger on a passing boat and they will instantly wave at each other.
This was the premise of my thesis in college. I devoted four years of study and research to
it. I interviewed sixty-seven psychologists,
reviewed 211 case studies and traveled to nine countries during the
process. I read 56 physiology books,
cover to cover and conducted controlled experiments with over 400 strangers,
from all walks of life.
My findings, in 97% of the cases, came out the same. People
are nuts.

Note:
The professor said my findings lacked substance. She gave me a C-, and never reimbursed me for the boat rental.
