Story time: in 1999, I transferred from the University of Wyoming down to U. of Arizona. The Friday before classes were to begin down there, I went walking around campus, so I'd have an idea of where I should go and timing and all that. I was an "Ecology and Evolutionary Biology" major, and so I needed to find the EEB building. I didn't have a map, so I had to look at the big maps on pillars that were located around campus and get a general idea of where things were, then try to head in the right direction and hope for the best.
Anyway, I was having some trouble finding the building. I was wandering around, somewhat lost, when suddenly I saw two middle-aged guys coming out of a building wearing khaki shorts, khaki shirts, and floppy khaki fishing hats. I thought, "Ah! Those look like ecologists!", and of course they were. Only us and the geologists would ever have dressed that way. It's like a field work uniform!
