On the College St. streetcar tonight, the kindly female operator asked the big-eyed, befuddled rider (no, not me -- this time) where he wanted to get off.

BBR: "Let me know when we are on College Street."

KFO: "Sir, this is the College Street car. Where do you want to go?"

BBR: "College and Queen."

KFO: "Sir, College and Queen run parallel. Where would you like to go?"

BBR (Puts thinking cap on): "Queen and Oss-ink-tone."

That gave the KFO something she could work with! I cannot say if BBR got to his destination, or whether he told the Ossington bus driver that he wanted to go to Bathurst and Spadina.

Shades of Latka Gravas, I tell you.

Some nights, I feel for TTC operators. :)
