Loading ...These are snippets from conversations I overheard on the subway.
All of them involve numbers in some way.
Conversation Snippet 1
“Can you believe I’m getting six years just because I robbed a bank? Ain’t that some shit?”
Conversation Snippet 2
“Mortgages are for shit, man! It’s like paying rent! Nobody knows that! They all stupid! You pay rent for 30 years, you never own the house, then you die! It’s a rip off. Maybe your kids’ll get the house and then sell it. But you’ll be dead, so who the fuck cares?”
Conversation Snippet 3
“I only make $250 a week! After taxes that only leaves me $75. That ain’t enough to buy weed!”
Conversation Snippet 4 (my personal favorite)
Person 1: Guess which issue of Avengers Hellcat joined in.
Person 2: I really don’t know.
Person 1: Just guess, man.
Person 2: I really don’t know.
Person 1: Just guess.
Person 2: I don’t know, 172?
Person 1: 172? Are you crazy? What do you just read it and don’t know the issue numbers? What kind of fan are you? It’s 150!
And you know, I think he was wrong. Wasn’t it 141?
Buy me a beer!

What I like is that 3 out of 4 of these people seem to have their priorities straight.
The person having conversation number three was just appalled, indignant, and stoned all at the same time.
The person having conversation number two was extremely angry. He wanted everyone on the subway to know what complete fools they were if they had a house. I’m not sure that he was even talking to anyone in particular. He wanted his message known to all of us.
I agree. Most of these folks had their priorities right.
As for #2, The Mortgage Hater, say what you will about finances, but I think he is partially right. I want someone else to do the lawn and all the maintenance and pay the high taxes. I need to focus on important things like reading, the internet, DVDs, and technology. Houses don’t help you do any of that.
Although, I do like having no one touching my walls… and I suppose if one chooses carefully there are decent houses out there. Just not ours.
