To fully understand my Boston experience, you have to first listen to this routine by Bill Cosby from a very long time ago —
So New York has “the subway,” Chicago has “the L,” London has “the Tube,” and Boston has “the T.” They all have nuts on every car. And that’s why I’ve been deathly ill ever since I returned from Boston. (Suffice to say that it’s very important that I take precautions not to dehydrate.)
Some nut decided to become quite ill on the car we were riding in and to then to leave the evidence of his illness to come sit next to us. We couldn’t flee until the train’s next stop — and we did — but I’m convinced that he gave me his disease. Or it could have been the guy riding across from me who was part of the Occupy Boston group. He looked none too well.
Ahh … the romance of the big city and the joys of mass transportation. It gives new meaning to the idea of a “greener” America. I’ve been green ever since Boston.
I’m glad you had a good time 🙂
LOL A nut in every car. Sounds like Boston. I appreciate not having to deal with traffic and parking while visiting major cities, but there are so many drawbacks.
Jenny,
Even though your blog is tagged a “woman to women conversation,” I eavesdropped on over, and I love it. Economics as applied to dating … Newton vs. Leibnitz … Mathematician’s dice … oh, wow. (If you’re single, you need to meet my oldest son: computer programmer, church planter, and composer of musicals.)
Would you mind a listing on my “Progressive Church of Christ Blogs” page? We have a definite need for a more prominent female presence in the CoC blogging world.
Umm…Okay, sure you can add me. And don’t worry about eavesdropping. I don’t even delete men’s comments.
