Smoking shoes

So I'm sitting at 47th and the Dan Ryan waiting on the bus. I see this chick and I'm looking at her like "she's awfully barrel chested.". I see a dude walk up with a bullet proof vest on and then I realize that she has a vest, too. Ok, they are cops that ride the trains looking for ne'er do wells. They walk up to this lady that was smoking a cigarette while she waited for her bus. They pulled her to the side and issued her a ticket for smoking on CTA property. A guy tried to badmouth the cops to me looking for solidarity. I immediately endorsed the cops and the ticket. He walked away. Personally, I can't stand people that smoke at bus stops. They always disregard the rights of others to get their fix. Fuck 'em!

Anyway, I board the bus and we are on our way. This guy notices this older guy's shoes. (He had on brown shoes with beige spats!) The guy was so impressed with the older guy's shoes that he offered to buy them off his feet! Of course the older guy refused the offer. I don't know about you guys but I was a teenager during the 80s and that is what you would hear just before you got your head busted and you had to walk home barefoot.
