ADVENTURES IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Background

Overheard on the train (all are strangers):

Guy1: Are they hiring where you work?

Guy2: Yeah, you should apply.

Guy1: Do they do a background check?

Guy2: Yeah.

Guy1: Can’t do it then.

Guy2: They just look for felonies.

Guy1: Can’t do it. They make it so hard. I mean, EVERYBODY’S got a felony.

Guy3: I’ve got a felony.

Guy4: I’ve got a felony!

Guy5: I’ve got a felony.

Guy2: I’ve just got a misdemeanor. They also ask if you use any illegal drugs. I smoke a lot of pot, but I’ve got a prescription; so it’s not illegal.
