To the two "ladies" who stole my $2 in tips--right in front of my face--the joke is on you. I'm sure it'll be a riot when you find out you passed A.I.D.S. onto your baby and watch the sarcoma boils metastasize on your throat. Use those $2 to buy some isopropyl alcohol and wipe the bus seat off after you get up.
To the guy in the tangerine shirt with the burnt cigarillo behind your ear...thank you for kicking a buck into the tip jar! That was extremely thoughtful and it really did make my day. I hope you enjoyed your sandwich and got some choice play from the lady you were talking to on the phone. Its not the dollar as much as the gesture and it meant a lot to me, thanks!
