CHICAGO – In a Union Station restroom, just after debarking from an Amtrak train…

“You guys are all in line to take a shit, aren’t you?” said an older, disheveled gentleman. Frightened passengers nod and avoid eye contact.

“Well, christ. I might as well take a shit in my hand.” Smirks and walks out. I laugh and no one else does.
