We attended a concert last week.  Before the concert began, Best Friend walked over to the stage to take a look at the instruments and set up.  I remained in my seat and people-watched

A couple arrived and sat in front of me.  Both were fully masked up; she with a thickly padded cloth one that made her look like she had a snout, and he with a blue paper one from China (you know the type).  They talked for a few minutes, then the unthinkable happened.

I could not believe it, for I only heard about it in legend, never witnessing it until now.

They kissed each other while the masks were still stuck on their faces!
