This morning, a guy on the train, sitting next to me, pulled out a yellow teddy bear wrapped in plastic and stuck it in my face. He shook the bear and said, in a high pitched voice, "I'm a cutie! I'm a cutie."

I ignored him.

He said, "I'm a cutie, and I'm only a dollar." He paused. "That's cheaper than a prostitute. Waaay cheaper. Only a dollar."

I kept reading my book.

"I see you," he said. "You're a comedian. You like to be a comedian. You got the microphone, you put the microphone in your mouth. I seen that."

And then we arrived at 59th St, and I got off, to switch to the 1.
