The "L"

My cousin Hannah and I attended a Blackhawks hockey game today. We decided to head home on the "L" because playing sardines on a city bus at 10:30 at night is not my idea of fun. Well, when I was transfering to a different line of the train, I bumped into a homeless man. He said "Excuse me" and I said "That's okay." "Oh Thank you" he replied. He proceeded to follow us onto the train (I am thinking to myself OH NO). When the doors closed behind us locking a large group into a confined space he announced to the whole car: "I am going to sing a song for you all, I am just trying it out, I am not a professional or anything." (We of course were all thinking we had seen him on the Grammy's last year) The homeless man began to sing "Sittin on the dock of the bay." It was rather awkward and a few people snickered and of course no one was talking. When the song was finished and the whole car lapsed into silence he turned to Hannah and I and announced: "I am going to sing you two ladies a song now." Hannah looked away from me because she was trying not to laugh, I was turning bright red and the homeless man began singing "once, twice, three times a lady." He sang the WHOLE SONG than proceeded to sit down after the next stop thank goodness. HJ and I walked away unscathed
