I was driving to Walgreens at 39th and Broadway in good ol’ KCMO this morning when I got a red light at that intersection. No big deal, just a red light. But then I heard a guy on the sidewalk next to me yell at another guy across the street. Both guys came out into the street, with just my car between them. The guys’ shouting match went something like this:
Bum 1: Quit feeling sorry for yourself!
Bum 2: What?
Bum 1: I said quit feeling sorry for yourself! I have a cane. I can barely walk. At least you have legs that work.
Bum 2: But I’m homeless!
Bum 1: So? At least you can walk, dammit. I can’t even walk. (At this point the guy was walking and pointing his cane.)
Just when I thought the traffic light was permanently stuck on red, I got a green light and pulled into the Walgreens parking lot. By then the guys were in the same lane yelling about who should feel more sorry for himself, while people in cars tried to navigate around them. At that point, I went into Walgreens, and the guys were gone when I came outside a little later. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you what happened to the guys, but I’m sure you can creatively fill in the blanks.
I beat emawkc’s ass, that’s what happened.
Chimpo- Too funny! Poor emawkc!
Well at least they were not arguing with the cars like the homeless people in Houston.
