Ahahahahahaha. When I was a young man (or maybe old boy) I hitchhiked around the Western US with a guy that was an indigenous Guatemalan. I was 6'4" and he was maybe 5'2". We'd post up at a place with him facing me and me facing traffic with my thumb out. Part of his tradition was that he'd never cut his hair so had long, shiny black hair to his waist. We got LOTS of rides that way :)
