Great Comment Overheard on the Train

So I'm on the train this morning, and the MTA guy is walking around checking tickets. He checks my ticket and moves a few rows ahead of where I'm sitting. I overhear the following comment by some scraggly looking guy:

"Here's my train pass, even though it doesn't look like one. It got all wet from the rain yesterday, and when I got home, I decided to dry it by putting it into the microwave. Instead, it charred half of the ticket. I promise you.. you can see the markings on it."

The MTA guy looked at the pass, and at this character, in amazement, and said, "OK, I believe you." I think he was just shocked at the stupidity that this guy had, assuming that a piece of paper wouldn't burn in a microwave. Absolutely brilliant.

As I always say, just when you think you've seen and heard everything, you see and hear something else. (That's the Ross Rule of Life #4)
