Lies

I overheard a cell phone call made by a commuter beside me on the train heading into the downtown core of our city at 8:45 am, right after she boarded and sat down:

"Hi, I just wanted to call and let you know I'm going to be late for work this morning. I'm on the train; we keep having mechanical difficulties. We've been stopped for ages!"

I wanted to yell into the phone "Lies! All lies! She just got on this train!"

You should have whispered in her ear "$5 or I'll grab your phone, hit redial and spill the beans..."

You're far wittier than I, Kim. I just stared at her with my eyebrows reaching for my hairline.
