most interesting conversation all day

Off work, walk to the train station, wait a short bit for the train. When it arrives, I take a seat between a girl with an ipod and an old guy with an old game boy.

As I settle myself and get my book out of my backpack, the old guy is staring at me. I look up, and the following conversation ensues.

I like all the colors in your hair.
Thanks.
All the colors make your hair look real nice.
Thanks very much. (opening book to read)
How do you get such nice hair?
....I dye it...
Have you always had hair?
...um, yes. I have always had hair....

At this point, I actually begin reading, and much to my relief, the weird old guy goes back to his game boy.

Because some people DON'T always have hair, I guess. It must come and go at odd times.

Yes, this is definitely why meeting people on the subway is not recommended. Although you do have very nice hair.

sz- it is a good conversation piece ("piece" ha!), apparently.
