my Facebook entry, yesterday morning

Seems straight out of a Kafka novel- an elderly gentleman seated in front of me on the Max train talking on the phone, saying : " he doesn't speak German so speak German. Oh he does? Then speak French . He speaks French too? Then speak Scottish. No one can understand the Scottish. If he understands then take the battery out the phone and call me back.I have a parachute." 

and as he said the word parachute, his phone ring.
