"Oh, New York!"

-- December 3rd, 2007 --

New York is a multifaceted city. Amidst the crooks, cowards, regulars and celebs showing off their wealth in the land of the have nots, a lot of comedy goes on right underneath one's nose.

I was on my way to Harlem to cop a few things and while on the train, I do what I always do -- I mind my fuckin' business. So, as I was sitting there, daydreaming about some girl, this guy almost steps on my kicks and ends up sitting next to me.

I give him the slight Arnold-"What 'chu talkin' bout, Willis"-look and go back to fantasizing. When we hit Jay Street, about to crossover into Manhattan, son behind me starts rattling off stops and transfers as if he was the conductor or something. The first one didn't raise an eyebrow, folks just looked up and went back to whatever. But once we got to Broadway, people were clearly taking notice of homeboy's apparent schizoid behavior.

At Chambers St., a beginner family hops on the train. The young trio hear "Train Man" ramblin' his MTA map that was committed to memory and start to snicker. At each stop it got worst, until a brotha blurted out obnoxiously, "Yo, son! I hope MTA cut you a check!"

Studio audience laughter in a damn subway train... The whole car was rollin'! Hell, even I was bustin' up and duke was right behind me going full coo-coo bird! But the shit was funny, though. Honestly, with all the slick talk and snickering going on before, I'm surprised ole' boy didn't spaz out earlier.

So, when the train reached Spring St., son got off with his feelings on smash. But homie still had to spit his shit so [this should've been on video] son runs 'mation about the transfers and the stops but sounds as if he was the Hulk or something. He was all pissed off sounding! When he got off, the whole car started laughing harder, as there was that one lady who said, "That wasn't funny..."

But if you ever see dude spittin' his shit on the train and you're from out of town... He'll at least get you where you need to go...

What's Next?
