Back when The Canton on the World's Edge was just being birthed at Anderson
AFB, Guam, I remember Lord William of Wolfscape telling several of us new
members some SCA specific jokes.  One of them was: How can you tell the FBI
agent on the lyst field?  He's the knight with the patent leather shoes
under his armor.

Of course, we had to ask where that one came from.  He told us the SCA had
been investigated early on as a possible militia group due to it's place of
origin, structure, and the fact that most members learned to handle
weapons.  Supposedly, several of the agents who did the investigating ended
up joining the SCA when the investigation was done.  It was a fun story, but
I chalked it up to SCA urban legend.
