Drunk guys hit on books
So I just got home from the city. Took the 11pm-ish train. There was some horse racing thing going on at Flemington Racecourse so, naturally, there were bound to be drunks on the train.
Personally, I find them hilarious. The train is either boring, noisy, smelly, and all sorts of gross things; so I do appreciate these moments when I am happy with public transport. Funny drunks is one and the other is good air conditioning haha.
Anyway. There were two drunk guys, a young Asian couple and another couple sitting together (three different parties) and the drunks asked if they wanted to play Two Up. It's just taking bets on tossing two coins. Haha it was so funny. The guy from the couple played. The bets started at $1 (sober guy won) and then $5 (drunk won) then the two drunks played against each other with a $20 bet. Then no one but the drunks wanted to play anymore lol. Then they asked like everyone on the carriage if they wanted to play. I would've... because it looked like fun and they were really just having a laugh - but I don't see the point in gambling, really - bad habit and all that. Apparently he won nothing at the races but over $60 from playing Two Up on the train LOL
Then he was talking to some people behind me about all the details of his customer service job. Really quite an articulate drunk he was.
Then the guy was saying to his friend "Do you think she's (me) really reading? Do you think it's one of those pop-up books?... What are you reading?"
"Lord of the Flies"
"Oohh... have you eaten at Lord of the FRIES?"
"Yes..."
"It's on the corner of Flinder's and Swanston" (wrong)
"C'mon, 50c... let's play"
"Um, no..."
"Ok, ok, I'll show you a trick."
And he does this dumb trick with little balls of screwed up paper that doesn't quite work, but I give him the benefit of Ooohing and Ahhhing anyway.
When he and his friend got off, his last words were "PIGGY! PIGGY! You watch out for Piggy... that's all I remember from that book..."
Oh, they give me much amusement.
Will post about FFF and the rest of my awesome day tomorrow. Right now, need sleep as I'm getting up at a stupid weekend hour to go to the market!
