Streeter: I Speak for the Trees Edition
Friday night, 10:00. Subway traveling northbound between Bloor and Rosedale.
A long-legged teenage girl is sitting, doing the Metro crossword. A lanky man standing at least six and a half feet bends down toward her. He has a German accent.
Vertically-Gifted Man: Excuse me, how tall are you?
He hands her a business card; it reads “Tall Club of Toronto.”
Vertically-Gifted Man: In case you’re interested. I’m a member.
Vertically-Gifted Girl: (trying to be polite) Okay.
She takes the card and puts it in the pink lululemon bag on her lap. They do not speak for the rest of the ride.
