yesterday i took an express train to the nether-burbs. it would have been all normal and regular train weirdness (dudes drinking beer, bible study, crying baby, lady who is asleep and not dead hopefully), but no, the crazy threesome had to sit next to me. so i dutifully plug in my headphones to drown them out with npr (hallelujah) but they are just a little bit too loud. also, the lady next to me would look at me every time someone said something remotely funny as if i was supposed to guffaw or at least emit some forced chuckle. i can't hear you lady, there are voices in my head! anyway, eventually i realized that the dude was telling his two lady friends about his recent colonoscopy (very detailed) and how he drank 10 times the max amount of laxative by accident and thought it tasted like a milkshake. that's just silly.
moral of the train ride; don't ride the train.
