subject Helen Keller would kick my asssss
Howdy!!! I have a great story for you! This afternoon I took an early train (Milton 430) and was seated a quad across from this woman who earlier had been on the platform talking on a cellphone indicating she was going to visit someone. I could tell from her mannerisms this was her first train ride. You can tell because these GO virgins are either super-excited or super-skittish. Kind of like when you bring a cat home from the pound for the first time. So we're moving along and I guess she was starting to get nervous because she spoke to the man across from her who had been staring out the window. She wanted to know how long the train ride was but he ignored her. This floored me. So again, she leans over and says, "Excuse me". The guy doesn't move. Doesn't look over. Doesn't take his eyes away from the window. She slumps back in her seat so I speak up and tell her we should be in Milton in about 55 minutes or so. She smiles and of course, speaks loudly back to me, startling the whole train of people... because she's a newbie and doesn't know the rules. The guy still doesn't flinch. We get to Milton and the woman thanks me as she goes by. The guy stands up and I'm ready for him to bust out some sign language only to see him pull ear buds from his ears that were black with black cord and he wound these things behind his hair (which was long, black and he was dressed in all black). Son of a bitch, eh?
