Back of the bus: A group of teenage boys is antagonizing a fortysomething man dressed in work clothes and boots.

Boys’ ringleader: “Man, I make more in an hour than you probably make in a whole day.”

Fortysomething man: “I make 54 bucks an hour.”

BR: “Seriously? What do you do?”

FM: “Electrician. Journeyman.”

Random boy: “You work every day?”

FM: “Seven days a week.”

BR, calculating: “Dang–you’re pulling in some serious cheese.”

The bus reaches fortysomething man’s stop, and he gets off.

BR, to his friends: “I’d stop hustling for a job that paid like that.”
