Eavesdropping on the MBTA...

I overheard a fascinating conversation on the bus today. I'm going to try to type it up verbatim, or as much as I can.

Guy #1: So you're doing okay with that new car? <I think he said the model and style... but this is just when I barely started to listen, and I certainly wasn't fascinated yet>
Guy #2: Yeah, yeah. Gas prices are going down a little and everything, it's not that bad.
Guy #1: Yeah, gas is down. Although you have to remember, you know, it's not all that much money you're spending even when it costs more.
Guy #2: Yeah, I don't even fill it up all the way, I just fill it up halfway for like $10, it's nothing.
Guy #1: That's nothing. I just think you have to be philosophical about these things. Think how much you spend on a pack of cigarettes or something, hell, it's not that much money that you're paying more for the extra cost even when the price is up. You think about it, you're not smoking, so you're saving money right there. Gas, you're never spending a lot.
Guy #2: I agree, you have to watch what you're really spending money on. Hey -- you want to know what I really spent way too much money on lately?
Guy #1: What?
Guy #2: (whispering) An adult massage.
Guy #1: Really? ...Was it good?
Guy #2: (still very low voice) Oh I loved it, it was great. You'd be surprised, this lady has a really nice condo right outside Davis Square. We did it twice.
Guy #1: How much did it cost?
Guy #2: A hundred dollars.
Guy #1: That's cheap.
Guy #2: Oh yeah, it's cheap, it's cheap. Especially when you think what you're going to pay anyway on movie tickets, plus dinner, parking, gas and all that...
Guy #1: Seriously. I think it's great that you did that. I think that stuff, all that stuff should be legalized. Prostitution.
<Guy #2 gets up because it is his stop>
Guy #1: Well, see you later. Glad you got what you wanted. You're happy, that's good. See you later.
Guy #2: See you later.
