I boarded the train this afternoon and sat next to a crazy homeless man. He decided he would start up a conversation with me, despite the fact that I was wearing my headphones - the international sign for 'I do not want to talk to you.'
Homeless Man: I love rainy days. It reminds me of the sea.
Ryan: [Silence.]
Homeless Man: The sky's only a few feet above us.
Ryan: [Silence.]
Homeless Man: It's time to polish the statue.
Ryan: [Silence.]
Homeless Man: [Begins singing an indecipherable song about clouds and Jews.]
Ryan: [Silence.]
Homeless Man: The Red Lion Hotel. It used to be owned by the Swedish mafia. That's why it has a red lion.
Ryan: [Silence.]
Homeless Man: I like eggs.
Ryan: I have to get off, this is my stop.
