For­mer Kinder­garten Teach­ers Make Quite Ef­fi­cient Ho­bos

Hobo #1, hold­ing sneak­er, to an­oth­er: Put that shoe on!
Hobo #2: Man, I don’t want to sweat in the shoe. That’ll make my feet stink!
Hobo #1: Man, what the fuck you wor­ried about? Your feet al­ready stink. I can smell them from here. Those peo­ple can smell them from here. Now put on your god­damn shoes and tie that shit up tight. No one wants to smell what you got. Now I’m go­ing to stand here and watch you tie those shoes for the good of every­one on this train.

Loud woman on phone: I was at the fu­ner­al on Wednes­day and Melvin was sit­ting in the pew be­hind me. Halfway through the cer­e­mo­ny he leans for­ward and goes: “We’re at the wrong fu­ner­al!” So we had to get up and find the right one. When we got there, the hill was so steep the hearse could­n’t get up the hill! It was aw­ful!
