Overheard on the 6 Train:

Preppy Teenage Girl: "59th st? That's uptown...isn't this train going downtown?"
Teenage boy on train: "No, it's goin uptown. Downtown is on the other side of the
street."
Preppy Teenage Girl:"Damn" continues to stand there confused with group of clones.
Teenage boy (after doors close): *Laughs* "Man she was so dumbified!"


And people wonder why I don't want my kid going to school in the NYC....I mean c'mon, dumbified (I wonder if that's a cross between stupified and dumbfounded).
