My poor old mother had the only line that made me smile at all yesterday:
"G-d-it, don't these people know old ladies need to watch their shows? I been waitin' all week to watch 'Chicago Fire,' 'Chicago PD,' and 'Chicago Med,' an' all that's on is this mess!"
I live here and seldom look at television. Came up the subway one nite and a young black lady
asked if I had any money, so I slipped her a fiver, told her to get some coffee and a donut.
I cross the street-this is the Gold Coast, not a hardscrabble neighborhood-and a squad car pulls
up, siren flashed. And they want to know what the lady said, what I said...
Federal agent, showed the badge. Apologies. No problem guys, I just need a shower, sandwich, sleep.
Prostitution sting. Entrapment, solicit for immoral purpose. The girl is watching all this, smiles,
and waves with the bill in her hand. A Chicago lady blue.
