Strange Things That Only Ever Seem To Happen To Me #457,238,419
Walking into a little suburban shopping court this afternoon to get a late lunch, a rather large & obviously somewhat lame woman waved for my attention & asked me to help her walk to the bus stop about 150 metres away. I was in no particular hurry, so agreed... & for the next ten minutes as we inched our way to her destination I heard about how she'd nearly died giving birth, had a series of strokes & only learned to walk again a day before her infant son, how she only had one functioning leg & arm, her sciatica, that her two kids wanted to be scientists but she didn't care what field they were studying, only that they want to be scientists, how her friend had lost $270 through a hole in her jacket & had another $170 confiscated by the police, who'd better look out for her & how she was going to use her disability taxi vouchers to bribe a driver to give her his pack of cigarettes because she's a legend... but she had to get the right driver
How do they find me??
