Carnegie Library, Oakland.
An eccentric looking older man in a smoking jacket, ski cap, and wraparound sunglasses approaches a reference librarian:
Eccentric Man: So, let me get this straight: Do you condone shadow boxing in here?
[The librarian stares, confused.]
Eccentric Man: I mean, I wouldn’t be allowed to go out in the hallway and shadow box?
Librarian: Ummm… no, I don’t believe so.

They do have the bamboo patio. Maybe he could shadow box there….
The trick is not to ask permission, in my experience.
