Deep Thoughts with Kelle Shaunna
I love it when people yell and swear around the SkyTrain station during the morning commute.

Public Service Announcement from the Evening Commute:
If you are an old man who smells like he’s most certainly carrying a large quantity of marijuana and is visibly toting a bag of chips, don’t walk anywhere alone – in the Greater Vancouver Area, especially.
Further to this warning, do not, under any circumstances, also pull a wad of $20 bills out of your wallet – numerous times, as you sit, reeking, on a SkyTrain.

Report from the Morning Commute:
Today is the annual Translink Clean the Stairwell at Brentwood Station Day, either that or someone puked all over it last night – it was pub night at SFU, after all.
To celebrate, it is being recommended that commuters put their trash and puke in the bin today [tonight].

Good news for anyone hoping to eliminate their debt in 2013.
Liquid gold is now being accepted by creditors. Oil? No, tears.
According to a SkyTrain passenger tonight, a woman ‘ate’ a $300 debt owed to her by a man because “he cried.”

Report from the Evening Commute:
Researchers have discovered a new way to tell if a woman is pregnant, according to two Translink commuters.
“How did you know,” asked the first expert, surprised by the news that a mutual friend was expecting.
“I know she has a personal trainer,” replied her conspiratorial colleague, “so when I saw she was gaining weight, I just knew.”

Weather Advisory from the Evening Commute:
A cold westerly wind blowing in off the Pacific Ocean is forcing heavy rains to fall sideways this evening.
Commuters who have long walks between transit stations are advised to take a taxi.

Report from the Evening Commute:
Contrary to popular drunk-dialer/texter belief, it’s uncool to be a fool in love with an ex while intoxicated.
“It’s so immature,” said one female commuter about affairs of the alcoholic heart.
“I never think about my ex-boyfriend,” she added, “especially when I’m drunk.”
