Overheard on the Metro, “Did you get the Funeral Money?”  “Did you use the Funeral Money?”  “Did you get the Funeral Money?”

Yes, she repeated it many, many times.  In a chipmonkesque voice, no less.  Her companion, who looked like an attenuated hobbit, was stunned.  He either didn’t hear her, or refused to understand.

To me, this was a welcome break from the usual Metro conversation topics: prison, parole, and baby daddy/mamma drama. Occasionally there is a reference to “weed” or other meds.

Some poor shmoe will ask for directions.  I’m not sure why, but the casual rider is mostly perplexed.
