Let’s skip the negative/horror stories and focus on the good, wholesome, and funny stuff for once

One time I was on the Green Line out of the loop to Forest Park (when I lived there), this homeless lookin dude steps between the cars into mine. It was rush hour so fairly packed. He starts preaching

“Let me tell you the story of how I found Jesus!”

“I had the life. I had it all! I had the women, the house, the cars. I made a million dollars!”

“Then I lost it all. I hit rock bottom. I didn’t know where to turn, I thought it might be the end.”

“And that’s how I found Jesus. He saved me. And he can save you too.”

Someone from the other end of the car goes

“Yeah that’s great but how did you make a million dollars?”

Whole car erupts laughing. Dude turns around and goes back to the other car

If you haven’t been to The Region yet, you’re missing out!

Walked out of a movie at the Alamo Draft House to this. Lots of people out partying after the Cubs game suddenly scrambling to get inside.
