Adventures in the Mens Room at the Shelbyville Great Escape 8
The following conversation actually took place tonight when I was at urinal row in the mens room at the movie theater:
Bubba [I'm just guessing this is his name]: What movie d'you see?
Me [thinking, "oh my. someone's talking to me in the bathroom"]: Ummm....Wicker Park ?
Bubba: Well, all I can say is, don't go see Hero ! That's the one I'm in.
Me [nervously avoiding eye contact]: Okay.
Bubba: They got people flyin'--jumpin' high as a tree an' fightin' w' swords.
Me: Really?
Bubba [starting to walk to the door without washing his hands--I'm not going to point this out to him]: I kin see jumpin as high as a house...but not as high as the trees!
Me [relieved that he's walking out the door]: Well, thanks for the tip.
Bubba [who's turned around and actually come back in the restroom]: ...Plus, I'll tell ya wun more reason not to see it!
Me [thinking, "oh my. He's coming back in here"]: What's that?
Bubba: You gotta READ the whole movie!
