Maybe you had to be there

Walking to work today, I found myself behind two women, attractive but not too out of the ordinary. Ugg boots, tight jeans, short ski-style jackets, Nordstrom bags -- typical Saturday downtown shoppers. As they strolled innocently past some steps, an old homeless woman spat out, "Look, it's the happy hookers!"

I could see them kind of stop in surprise for a half-moment, then keep going, because what was there to do? As they went by, the old woman said disapprovingly, "Look like whores."

I gave her a dollar.
