Valuable Lessons Learned While Riding the Bus at Noon on a Weekday From Downtown to Ballard

Homeless man 1: We gotta get in touch with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.

Homeless man 2: Yeah? They’d look at you. They probably wouldn’t even look at me.

HM1: Yeah. Don’t worry, though. We’ll make it happen.

HM2: They’re probably just stuck-up bitches anyway.

HM1: Yeah, probably. You know, I stay at the [mumble, mumble, can’t make out the name] shelter.

HM2: I never heard of that shelter.

HM1: No one has. It’s this really exclusive homeless shelter.

HM2: Yeah?

HM1: Yeah. It’s like an exclusive club for homeless people. We got men and women.

HM2: Yeah?

HM1: Yeah, we got some babes in there, too.

HM2: That’s trouble.

HM1: Nah, I like having girls around. Keeps me on my good behavior. We don’t just sit around talking about pussy and shit. You know, I’ll be happy as soon as I can get me a couple 24-ounce beers.

HM2: Just don’t drink too much. I don’t drink that much beer. I can’t. I’m taking medication.

HM1: I can get started on my day just as soon as I get me two beers. You know, I come all the way to Ballard just to buy beer. It’s the only place they still sell it for $1.
