Forward: I was reminded of this story after a recent post by http://www.sassytwosocks.com/
Scene: NYC Subway
I had just started college and was on the subway headed to whatever bar served $5 all you could drink from 8-11. The Zoo or The Blue Moose or something, can't remember, they all blend together. Funny how the cheapest bars were also the ones that let you in when you were underage. Hmmmm.
Anyway, I'm sitting there minding my own business when a black guy in an oversized trenchcoat walks onto the train and stands in the center of the car. This is not trenchcoat weather. He waits till the doors close and the train starts moving to yell:
"EVERYBODY LISTEN UP THIS WILL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE!"
"Fuck," I think to myself as I calmly reach for my wallet. "I've been in this city for three months and I'm already getting robbed? This sucks. Where the hell am I gonna get another $5 so I can drink all night?"
"JESUS IS COMING AND HE IS GOING TO BE REALLY PISSED OFF, BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO...." trenchcoat-man continues.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me," I think, "a sermon?"
I'd rather've been robbed.
