Friday afternoon, the rush hour bus is jam-packed with commuters. Everyone was feeling like sardines in a can. People stood face-to-face, back-to-back.
A young woman was wearing a miniskirt was feeling particularly uncomfortable with her situation. As if feeling discomfort, a construction worker behind her said, "Pardon me, miss, but that thing pressing into your back is my weekly pay ... today they only paid us hard cash!"
"I don't mind your hard cash," replied the woman, "but how do you explain your pay increase since the last stop?"
