It could happen that you are on a business trip, sitting in a chain Chinese restaurant, when a slender, odd old man who looks more than a little bit like a benign Sam Beckett walks by each table quietly handing out business cards that say:
FRED'S WATCH REPAIR.
And that, after finding an item on the menu titled
Dali Chicken.
(There's something surreal afoot, underneath the manicured commerce of it all.)

Some people would never notice. But you have an eye for the real and the surreal. Your snip of life on the road sounds like a scene from the X-Files. Americana ... wow!
LOL, love the links and it sounds like my sort of experience :) hope you kept the card...you never know when you might need it

Vertigo is fun, as long as it doesn't spoil dinner, no?
Reminds me of O Henry's "The Green Door' :D
