Back of the bus: A group of teenage boys is antagonizing a fortysomething man dressed in work clothes and boots.
Boys' ringleader: "Man, I make more in an hour than you probably make in a whole day."
Fortysomething man: "I make 54 bucks an hour."
BR: "Seriously? What do you do?"
FM: "Electrician. Journeyman."
Random boy: "You work every day?"
FM: "Seven days a week."
BR: "Dang--you're pulling in some serious cheese."
The bus reaches fortysomething man's stop, and he gets off.
BR, to his friends: "I'd stop hustling for a job that paid like that."
