Overheard on BART this morning between an elderly couple

• Husband: Honey, what is all this 4G business?
• Wife: I don't know, dear. It comes after 3G, I guess?
• Husband: Don't our phones have this 3G thing? Didn't that just start?
• Wife: I don't understand this alphabet business. Can't we just improve service and keep it the same name?
• Husband: That's how they get you. They make you think it's better with some snappy new name. In my day--
• Wife: No, stop. Don't do that.
• Husband: Do what?
• Wife: You are not allowed to start sentences that way.
• Husband: Well, why not?
• Wife: You don't own time, dear. It is not yours to take.
• Husband: That doesn't even make sense.
• Wife: Why don't they put those moving sidewalk thingies inside the trains?
• Husband: You're still not making sense.
• Wife: You know those moving walkway things inside the airport? They should put them in the aisle so you can get off quickly. Also, no one could stand on them and crowd the aisle because it would never stop moving.
• Me (who is standing in the aisle next to their seats): I'm sorry! Am I crowding you?
• Wife: Oh no, honey, you're doing just fine right there. Your jacket looks really warm. Is it?
• Me: Actually, it's a bit too warm on the train.
• Wife: So it's like you're wearing a fireplace?
• Me: I--I suppose it is.
• Wife: That's pleasant.
