This is an approximate transcript of a "conversation" we had with a drunk, middle-aged Korean man we met by chance while waiting for the subway--- ^^
DRUNK GUY: American?
US: No, Canadian.
DRUNK GUY: Oh, Canadian.
US: Yup…
DRUNK GUY: You know pop music?
US: We’ve heard of it, yes…
DRUNK GUY: You know George Michael?
BBRO (80s Fan): Omigosh, Wake Me Up Before You GoGo!!!!!!!!!

BBRO: At home I’m 22—
ME: And I’m 21 –-
BBRO: Here we’re… What?
US: 23?
DRUNK GUY: Oh, 23! Fabulous!
[Right around this point is when he spits on BBro, so we start to get more than a little nervous]
DRUNK GUY: Fabulous.
US: ….

[He ushers us on. With both hands. On the ass. Awkward]
DRUNK GUY: Fabulous George Michael.

I do believe it was MY idea to get off at the very next stop. It was something like this:
Me: Hey Josh, I think this is our stop *wink wink*
Josh: [Looks confused] Really?
Me: Yes, I really really think so. Let's go!
Josh: [Finally understanding my plan]Oh ok!
Yeah, that guy was interesting for the first 30 seconds of conversation (when I thought we were going to talk about 80s music). It pretty much completely lost its appeal when, like you said, the guy spit on my face. Yuck!
