If there really are space aliens living among us, they should be fairly easy to identify.
The following are some of the tell-tale signs.
Once you know them, they seem obvious. Just the same, it’s advisable to have them here for reference.
(1) They know a lot more about astronomy than seems good for anybody.
(2) They wear clothes with labels that read “Made in Mars.”
(3) They tend to vote as a block in favour of illegal immigration.
(4) Their currency won’t fit into standard-sized wallets.
(5) Their ray guns keep setting off airport security alarms.
(6) They make the best neighbours. ZAP and their garbage is gone. Another ZAP and the yappy dog down the street disappears.
(7) No matter how long they suntan, their skin remains grey and pasty-looking.
(8) Their green blood makes them darlings of the environmental set.
(9) They’re still making prank phone calls to Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
(10) Their kids are often “science geeks.”
(11) They’re willing to pay a premium for housing near Roswell, New Mexico.
(12) Given the current state of world politics, they don’t want to be taken to anybody’s leader.
A David Letterman Top 10 List may have covered some of the same ground as the above, but I’m not sure. My memory has been wiped clean by unknown forces.

Here’s another story with a public service theme, Anheuser-Busch the Budgie (Suggestions to Lower Washington’s Debt).
Or you can take what you’ve just learned and read The Grief Machine with better understanding.
