Under the bus shelter this morning

While I was waiting for the b54 I coughed and a man offered me a cough drop. It's a store brand cough drop that has been warmed up or it's old because it sticks to the wrapper. I open it and see that it has been broken into two pieces. I take the smaller and wrap up the other.

"Was is stuck? Do you want another?"

"No, thank you. It was broke in half so I am saving the other half for later"

"Economizing?"

"yes"

Then we chat about the Dutch hero who saved the passengers on Christmas Day. The bus pulled up and he wished me a Happy New Year.

There, now aren't you so happy I told you this saga?
