The Skytrain is a funny mode of transportation. A lot of time it’s because the people who ride it are hilarious.
Case in point: about a week ago when I was going around town.
I was sitting and minding my own business when some strung-out guy starts walking around the Skytrain car, loudly talking to everyone he passed as he made his way down the Skytrain.
He was asking everyone either, “McCain or Obama?” or “Bush or Obama?”, asking which we preferred politically, I guess.
Anyway, after asking about twenty people one of these questions, one intelligent dude finally says, “You know, it might make more sense in Canada to ask, ‘Ignatieff or Harper?’”
The strung-out dude looks confused for a second, but he quickly recovers, saying, “Yeah, man, I read what ya sayin’.”
Strung-out dude turns around and starts striding down the Skytrain again.
Next thing we all hear is, “Harper or Obama?”
I swear, you had to be there. To see twenty-five random strangers laughing their heads off at that.
