The El whisperers
Two young women in their late 20s boarded the Red Line south at Addison. One sat next to me, the other sat across the aisle, but ahead one seat, facing each other. So they were about 6 feet away from each other.
They started whispering to each other, mouthing words that certainly I couldn't hear, and I was sitting next to one of the women. Yet they carried on a long conversation, and I really didn't hear any of it.
It dawned on me in looking closely at them that they probably are sisters, they looked that much alike. So I suppose it was a sisterly bond that allowed them to communicate so well in whispers from 6 feet away on a noisy train.
We should have a poll as to the stop that has the hottest babes.
Top contenders:
-Diversey
-Addison
-Fullerton
-Damen
-Wellington
-Armitage
Damn, it would be a close race.

They probably could read lips. My mom is nearly deaf and can read lips really well. Once I was talking to her on the street next to the El and I kept talking as the train went by; it didn't make any difference to her because she was reading my lips, not hearing my voice.
