I was riding the Max-line the other day, and I overheard a conversation between two relatively elderly, but not that old, women.

“It’s great that Spring has come, and we have such nice warm weather now.”
“Yes. But there’s one thing I don’t like about the Spring.”
“What’s that?”
“The Un-Clothed Women.”
“What’s that?”
“Un-Clothed Women.”
“Oh, well. You’ll get used to that.”
“I never do.”
The other woman walked off the Max on the next stop, leaving her to utter, more or less to the world at large “I believe in Modesty.”

I was very much tempted to interject somewhere in the conversation, from across the aisle, “Hey! It works for me!”
