Traveling Conversation

Leaving Montreal for Quebec, I decided to make a stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road.

I went into the washroom.

The first stall was taken so I went to the second stall. I had just sat down when I heard a voice from the next stall. "Hi there, how’s it going?"

Now I’m not the type to strike up a conversation with a stranger in a washroom on the side of the road. I didn’t know what to say, but finally I said, "Not bad."

Then the voice said, "So, what are you doing?"

I thought that was kind of weird, but I said, "Well, I’m just going to the bathroom, then I’m going back East."

The voice interrupted, "Look, I’m going to have to call you back. Every time I ask you a question, this goofball in the next stall keeps answering me!"
