59U:
Drunk Man: Where are you from?
Young Woman: Beaver Falls. It’s about an hour north of here
Drunk Man: Oh, an hour north? You mean in Canada? Say… have you ever seen a beaver fall? I know I haven’t
Young Woman: No. No, I haven’t.
Drunk Man: I’m trying to get home; I’m going downtown.
Young Woman: Well, couldn’t you have taken the 61C? There was one that pulled up right in front of this one.
Drunk Man: What, you think you’re so smart? I was born on the 61C!
Not the most sterile environment
Headline: “I don’t want to get into my childhood, but, trust me, I left and never looked back.”
“Sadly, that means he’s moved farther away from home than your average Pittsburgher.”
That meant sharing his room with 7,000 Asian students, but, surprisingly, it wasn’t that crowded.
if a beaver falls in the woods and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Good thing you didn’t get on the 54C, or you’d be in Michigan by now.
The whole exchange reminds me of Oscar Wilde, so here’s my headline: “A bus – a somewhat large bus, with wheels – an ordinary bus in fact.”
61C – Now with service to Magee
Headline: “At least it’s better than being born in a barn”
Inbound or outbound, you can’t get oram’s on the 61C
Headline: “Ma’am, I’m afraid you’re going to have to pay half-fare for your son.”
