You want In Passing...? I'll give you "overheard in passing." From the guy behind me in line in the T Pass office at MIT:
I did the best I thought I could, in a semi-claustrophobic public space: I glared at him and said "I'm not so sure I like that idea"--in a Southern accent.
"Well, I do..." he said, somewhat nervously.
"Ah'm sorry to hear that," I told him, took my T Pass, and turned to walk past them with an "Excuse me, gentlemen."
Sigh. I promise not to take this as an excuse to hate Yankees, which would be the same mistake they were making, but man it would feel good. I don't promise not to take this as an excuse to hate people.
"...the retards can't read, that's the problem. We should be bombing Alabama, bomb Tennessee. All those Republican states. "Gas the South," how's that for a slogan?"
