I think I saw this same guy or at least a relative... it was back in the late '90s and the guy was sitting across the aisle from me. He was reading some magazine, I forget what it was now, but he had a small pocketknife and he would cut the pages from the magazine after he was done reading them, fold them in half and then in half again and then put it in his pant's pocket. He didn't do it for every single page but he did do it for the majority of the pages.
I kept waiting for him to look around and start laughing and say, "I had you all fooled, you thought I was crazy, huh?" He never did.
