I left Montreal heading toward Quebec city, when I decided to stop at a rest area. The first stall was occupied, so I went into the second one. I was no sooner seated when I heard a voice from the next stall:
"Hi, how are you doing?"
Well, I am not the type to chat with strangers at a highway rest area, much less in a bathroom, and I really don't quite
know what possessed me, but anyway, I answered, a little embarrassed:
"Not bad."
And the stranger said:
"And, what are you up to?"
Talk about your dumb questions! I was really beginning to think this was too weird! So I said:
"Well, just like you, I'm driving east."
Then, I heard the stranger, all upset, say:
"Look, I'll call you back, there's some asshole in the next stall answering all the questions I am asking you."
