the simple american life - monday

I was in front of the train station, in front of Blockbuster, waiting for a cab to my hotel.

This is in the suburbs, by the way.

A lady, of Japanese descent, was dragging along her luggage. She asked me, without stopping,

"Hey honey, you have change for a $100?"

I managed a "No". Weakly.

"Ok. Fuck off."

Welcome to America.
