Perils of carrying a nice camera

I've become somewhat adjusted to people making comments about my camera and/or lenses I'm carrying. Most I don't mind, including the requests to take pictures for people. Although the ones where someone walking by kinda mutters quietly to a friend Ooh, that's a nice camera still catch my attention and make me wonder. However some interactions can add fun to the day. My favorite from my recent vacation was this, while I was standing along the bay.

Guy: You have a camera. <holds up his camera> Can you take a picture of me while I'm in San Francisco?
Me: Sure, what do you want in the background?
Guy: I don't know. <Looks around, spots distinctive sign about a block away> Hooters-n-shit?
