rfmcdonaldI was riding north on the Dufferin bus to work this morning. Just a minute before it crossed to Bloor and the Dufferin TTC station, I heard a woman who was standing parallel to the driver, in the aisle, speak.
- Do you want to use your sex life to cover up the archival material?
At first I thought that she was speaking to the driver, but then as she continued I realized that she was off having her own little conversation. We passengers flashed grins at one another.
- Do you really think that you can use your sex life to cover up the archival material?
Descending into the subway, to my delight I found that she was also headng east. So, I boarded her subway car. In the ensuing dialogue, conducted as she spoke into something small that might well have been a recording device, she castigated this person, "a general and a movie star," for being a self-indulgent moral monster. "I think you'd like to use it to put the blame on other people. I think you like that kind of thing." Not to worry since she said that she had "thousands of pictures, all the materials" at hand.
If the woman wasn't recording background material for fiction while peforming impromptu mass-transit theatre, someone should use that material. This is, as a point of fact, one reason I love the TTC: Everyone's on board. I'm just having fun trying to figure out who the protagonists of this conversation could possibly be.
