Bizarre overheard conversations
Good overheard cellers from my friend Lee:
Brown line around Irving Park:
Guy on a cell phone: "Is that what you want me to do? Is THAT what you want me to do?? You want me to drive a Mercedes to the Immigration office??"
Bus, Belmont near Ashland:
Guy on a cell phone: "You know what I'm going to do, I'm going to rent a tow truck and I'm going to come by tomorrow and get that car. I don't care if you can't pay, I don't care if you're in debt, I'm going to rent a truck and take the car back." Click off cell phone. Cell phone chimes. Guy answers. He says, "Yeah, I just talked to Mom. I'm taking the car back. Yeah, I know she's in debt. You wanna know why she's in debt? Cuz she's having to bail your ass out of jail every week."
Since the gorvernor has stated that he does not support a sales tax increase to fund the
CTA, why doesn't the mayor add a few cents
to the sales tax (9.75% now) under Chicago's
"home rule" powers and earmark it for the
CTA ? And how can the mayor push for upfront
"skin" money for the "maybe" olympics and
tell the CTA/Huberman/Brown to get funds the
best way they can ? C'mon Mr. Mayor, re-arrange some priorities to actually benefit
your so-called "taxpayers".
