Bustime Entertainment

About the time the man--covered in every color paint (blue, green, red) and wearing shorts that were so short that the legs of his boxes showed out the bottom--walked on the bus, the pair behind me began talking.


First they catelogued the people they knew who looked at them and thought they had it all. "But people never think about the time I was kidnapped and held for ransom," said the man.

"You're right," said the woman in a it's-a-damn-shame tone.

Apparently the pair was returning from a dream interpretor, which they termed a dream consultant. The woman got all excited, realizing she hadn't told her most recent, vivid dream to her counterpart.

In said dream, said woman and extraneous friend were in a zoo. The woman dream-magicked herself into a pen with a bear and its cub. She began describing some gate, which looked like this:




"Which is just silly, because with a triangle gate, I mean, what's that fence supposed to keep out?" says the woman laughing gently at herself.

"Now, let's not debate the nonsense of dreams," said the man.

"I'm just trying to give you an idea of what the gate looked like." And she went on to say, that the dream consultant told her the bear symbolized her parents and that the three pointed gate only proves Freudian theory of the child, mother, and father being the center of a person's life.

"Yes," said the man, "Isn't that the truth!"

Then, the man said he needed to make a phone call. He got up and walked to the front of the bus where the painted man was sitting. When he came back, he said some mutal acquaintence of theirs was going to the same concert they were headed for.

"He said he wouldn't miss it for the world," the man said.

"I just thought it would have sold out, and he couldn't get tickets," the woman replied.

"Well, I'm sure when he said he wouldn't miss it, he only meant that if there were tickets available, he would get some and go to the concert."

"Yeah," said the woman, "I get it."
