To be entirely truthful, there has been a bit of editing, of course, as both men were slow and slurry of speech(the sitting one on the picture from alcohol, as he smelled strongly, but if the part about the coma was true, then the standing one might have had lingering effects of that).
The drunk one could not curb his urge to start talking (he had tried to visit a cemetery, but had been too late and gates had been locked already. A bit of visual editing is that the sitting man also had couple of flowers wrapped in paper - I assumed these were for someone dead, the ones he had failed to deliver). I bet he never expected to get into the black book of Odin for just being too talkative in public transport!
Well, I did not feel even a bit sorry for the false-God follower, as at one point he attempted to tell the Odin follower to go back to Africa. And I am a snob enough to feel it hard to like someone who believes that Odin comes from Africa!
And currently it is not usually as crowded as it used to be (also, I do not feel like I have to give up my seat that often, getting close to 50 myself) and it is warm, relatively light and ride is smooth enough to read when one is not being entertained by listening in :D
Also - I am glad to see you here, I miss seeing you on Postcrossing forum! And congratulations (I hope to see funny stories about a growing human from you now and then on LJ soon!)
He was more anti-proselytizing (sorry that my editing has changed the balance) - first he started to tell against the false God (not even explaining which one is false - I did hope he was an atheist at first :D), Odin got mentioned only five to ten minutes into the exchange!
And as both the men were slow and slurry, it did take whole my ride to get from the false gods to one that might be a true one.

(And the sketch is excellent--love the expressions on the seated man and the woman next to him)
