ADVENTURES IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Background
Overheard on the train (all are strangers):
Guy1: Are they hiring where you work?
Guy2: Yeah, you should apply.
Guy1: Do they do a background check?
Guy2: Yeah.
Guy1: Can’t do it then.
Guy2: They just look for felonies.
Guy1: Can’t do it. They make it so hard. I mean, EVERYBODY’S got a felony.
Guy3: I’ve got a felony.
Guy4: I’ve got a felony!
Guy5: I’ve got a felony.
Guy2: I’ve just got a misdemeanor. They also ask if you use any illegal drugs. I smoke a lot of pot, but I’ve got a prescription; so it’s not illegal.
