Rock'n Out with Katy Perry At The Station

The following conversation happened between me and a couple of crew members while on shift the other day.  Kicking back at the station...

Me:  {wearing headphones, rocking out while sitting in the TV room at station.} "...C'ause you're hot when your cold. You're yes when you're no..."

FF Martin:  "Dude! what the heck are you doing?"

Me:  "What does it look like I am doing?"

FF Martin:  It looks like you're listening to Katy Perry.

Me:  "And....???"

LadderJockey:  {mocking} "AND... Have you forgotten that you're not a 13-year-old girl?"

Me:  "Do you have to be a 13-year old teenie-bopper to listen to Katy Perry?"

LadderJockey:  "It's not that you're just listening to Katy Perry.  You're sitting here bouncing your legs and bopping your head like you're in the middle of a grand mal epileptic seizure.  And, you're lip synching! Do you have any idea how stupid you look?  You're a grown man, for pete's sake.  Where's the Rage Against the Machine and the Rush... or the Stones?"

Me:  "That's stuffs on here too.  It's actually my kids ipod.  Plus, I like this song."

FF Martin:  {long pause} "What did you just say?"

Me:  "I like this song."

LadderJockey:  {Stands up on chair, cups hands around mouth and begins to shout to the entire crew.}  "Excuse me! Guys! I have an announcement to make.  See this little bitch sitting right here? Yeah! Well, he's a grade-A, Defcon-5, please-keep-your-hands-and-feet-inside-the-train-at-all-times pussy!  He listens to Katy Perry.  Thought you all should know. That's all!"

Me:  "Are you finished yet?"

LadderJockey:  "Yup!"

Cpt. Driedger:  "Not yet. One second. {Gets on chair and begins to shout} Oh Yeah! Attention men. He's also the one that broke wind in the cab the other day that sent you all scurrying for your air packs!  {Gets down from chair} NOW... we're done!"

Me:  "Good. Because Taylor Swift song is coming on next."

Seriously, they just couldn't cut me any slack!
