Kid (early teens) at the bus stop: "Do either of you have money so I can ride up to 99th in Hazel Dell?" I offer him a single-trip ticket. "Uh, no, I can't take your pass. I mean, I need the cash."
Think MST3K. Inspired by insipid insights: from reporters' mouths to your brain. [Notice both the alliteration and the oxymoron!] Honestly I don't pay much attention to the news, but sometimes my brain hears a phrase and just ... just ... freezes up because it can't process the nonsense. Feel free to send me your observations and I will post!
