Overheard in Corey's Life

If we all clap our hands and believe…

Automated Subway PA: We are delayed because of train traffic ahead of us. Thank you for your patience.
Crazy train guy: That’s what you say every day…
Train Conductor over the PA: There is an express number four train passing in front of us, please be patient. We’ll be moving in a minute…
Crazy train guy: Fuck! Damn!
In a minute, the train does in fact begin to move only to stop again a few minutes later.
Crazy train guy: What’s passing in front of us now? A pink elephant?!
