Bus Ride

I encountered a fellow in the bus today. I was reading my NewPaper when I heard a man shouting vulgarities. I thought he was on the phone or something, but it continued in short bursts. It was like "%^@$#^@ *silence for 30 seconds* $%$#%^#@$". All in Hokkien. I found it amusing at first. Slowly, it irritated me (and I thought I was well-trained to tolerate profanities after 2 yrs). It was difficult to concentrate on my papers as I found myself anticipating the outbursts. So, I put on my ear-piece and adjusted the volume accordingly. It is not my first time in such situations. Apparently, this bus is a magnet for such (ding-dong bell, cuckoo-cuckoo!)s... Pardon my language....

As I descended the stairs, I peeped behind.
He looked like any other guy on the streets...
Cuckoo!
