Conversations Overheard

[tealin]

Overheard on the bus today. At least one of them was drunk. Both were middle-aged and walked with canes even though it didn't look like they needed them.

WOMAN: What do they use the sulphur for, anyway?
MAN: Uh ... trains.
WOMAN: What, like ... like a ... like fuel?
MAN: I dunno. Just s---.
WOMAN: [after a pause] Are you playin' crap?
MAN: Yup.
WOMAN: You're losin', ain't ya?
MAN: ... Nope.

Hello there.

I have just read "Wintersmith"- maybe it was all secret code and they really were planning to make a man. I remember sulphur being one of the ingredients.
