You know NYC is a melting pot- but sometimes there's clumps of foolishness that can be quite unbelievable and funny...
So I'm riding the bus today and it's packed with "oldsters" so I'm in my seat just observing- b/c seriously the people who ride buses are quite amusing if ya ask me...
But this particular scene was straight outta the Dave Chapelle show...
Anywho- sitting in the front of the bus is a white man in his 60's, moderately well dressed (blazer, slacks etc)- seems to be a business man who's on his cell phone chatting away... the bus is getting even more crowded but he's taking up 2 seats, so someone alerts him to move his stuff, he gets off the phone and obliges...
A latino woman sits next to him and she's got 3 kids- 2 are about 6-9 years old and one baby. She sits down with the baby and the other 2 boys are standing up but one sits behind the man. The man turns to the woman and says "Where'd you get all these kids from!?"- I give the side eye because I'm like WTF kind of question is that, she picked them up at the store... stupid! Just as I'm thinking that the latino woman says "oh, it was buy one get one free!"... funny I thought, good response to such a ridiculous question.. The man is still smiling and looks back at the young boy behind him and says "Where'd you get that haircut from!"... The lil boy rolls his eyes and turns his head- even he recognizes that this man is a couple of fries short of a happy meal.
So the man says "oh this kid is smart he knows not to talk to strangers!", no not really, he knows not to speak to jackasses is more like it!
So a latino man sitting across from them says " his name is .... " something inaudible-sounds like Laurel or something, his accent is super thick so we don't know what he's saying. The white man says "What? What?" the latino man repeats himself again- and again incoherent. The white man says " What? Landen? Lauden? BIN LADEN!?" then shakes his head and gets off the bus...
I just held my head, I mean really? Where's Dave Chapelle when you need him?!
