Overheard in the Train Station

INT. SOUTH STATION, BOSTON, MA   EVENING COMMUTE

There’s a delay. A crowd has gathered. Most are watching the big display board, waiting for track numbers to appear next to the train listings.

            “… They are wrong! They are dead wrong! …”
            “… My job is to put the right people on the bus in the right seats to
            move this thing forward. …”
            “… You get back to me tomorrow. Tell me what will make it right.
            Tell me what will give you a good taste in your mouth. …”

Five Things You Don't Know About My Eyes

1. I’ve worn eye glasses since I was two.
2. Despite being so dependent on them, I don’t take very good care of my eye glasses.
3. I can’t wear contacts.
4. When I’m tired one of the muscles in the corner of one eye twitches. I don’t think the twitching is actually noticeable; but still, when it happens, I get a mental image of Herbert Lom as Chief Inspector Dreyfus.
5. Something that is noticeable and drives my wife crazy is that sometimes when I rub my eye, my eye ball squeaks.
