My attorney friend KMcG has a great habit of listening as she navigates her daily life on the streets of the City. On election day at 10 am in she heard a man, walking behind her speaking into his cell phone say: If Obama wins, we’re f@#kd. After lunch walking on another street, she overheard a conversation with a man on his phone and his comment was: If Romney wins we’re f@#kd. She thought it was funny to hear the exact same remark in two different contexts.
But her favorite is the day a young man offered a lady a seat on the subway. ‘No thanks,” said the lady, ‘I’m not pregnant, just fat.’
