Word on the street: "Know what this tie says?"
The scene: The orange line metro on New Year's Eve. A very happy, very inebriated crowd is packed into six cars. Susannah and Jacob have just caught the gaze of one such passenger who has a geometrically patterned tie on.
Drunkie: Hey! HEY! See my tie? Like my tie? like it?
Susannah: Oh, yeah. It looks like MC Escher.
Drunkie: Yeah. YEAH! It's like Usher!
We all blink. He proceeds unfazed.
Drunkie: And you know what this tie says? KNOW WHAT IT SAYS? It says happy f^@$ing 2009!
And thus began the new year.
