SUBWAY PASSAGE: Submission 1

9 Dec

Submission #1

Today I watched a middle aged Caucasian man intensely devour a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos on the 2 train. He wore a multi-colored plaid button up shirt, forest green corduroy pants and brown penny loafers. He started blankly into a vacant space as he ate his chips. I wondered what was this man thinking about? Does he have a job? If so, did he skip lunch, (which would have prompted him to stop at a candy stand before getting on the train to buy the bag of chips that he found so enjoyably edible). Mostly, I wondered how many pair of corduroy pants does he own and if he is a member of the Corduroy Appreciation Club, a social club which cultivates good fellowship by the advancement of Corduroy awareness, understanding, celebration and commemoration of the fabric, (yes this is a real club!). Basically, the Corduroy Club is a social club for people who like Corduroy fabric–yep this guy should definitely become a member; if not one already.
