Not s'marta
Leaving work today, I passed by a pair of men having a lively exchange near the Marta station. It was a private conversation, but they were quite vocal so I couldn't help but overhear the following:
Man #1: Righhh?
Man #2: Aigghhhh.
Man #1: Righhh?
Man #2: Aigghhhh.
Man #1: Righhh?
Man #2: Aigghhhh.
Man #1: Righhh?
Man #2: Aigghhhh.
I might have gotten some of that punctuation wrong. Sorry. That wasn't the end of the conversation, but you can clearly see where it was going. You can, can't you? Good. Yes, I do hope his dog's ok.
So I continued walking through the station and came upon a mass of people. But there was something oddly missing. Let's do some math:
mass of people + train station = noise!
Ah yes, there was absolutely no noise! How disconcerting! What the hell was wrong? Was there an invisible mute bubble that had surrounded these people? These people who were gesturing in a controlled fashion with their hands and arms...and not speaking... at all... OHHHH.
Uh, nevermind.
