Woman #1, watching hobo in a dress: You know, I finally feel like I'm a metropolitan woman.

Now, my first reaction is: “Those shoes and socks don't go with that dress–and Macy's isn't that far away. Dude, go get some pumps!” I mean, how often do you think I would have thought to say “dude, go get some pumps” when I was still living in Ohio? I'm living the dream!
