today a man with a jheri curl, leather coat and sun glasses (he was wearing shoes, jeans and a shirt too) walked into the subway station exclaiming the he was the smartest man ever and that he had more degrees than anybody in the world. for some reason i got into the second car when the train came. he did the same and continued his rant about how smart he was and how dare somebody else say something to him when they didn’t even have a ged. at one point he seemed to be addressing a girl who was minding her business on the train. poor thing. she looked so confused. but after briefly pausing her ipod she realized he was mad and ignored him.
