From Banter reader, Emily Lemole Smith:

The other day while I was waiting at the bus stop the guy next to me and I were engaged in general ‘bus banter’: about how MTA is cutting back on bus services, how certain bus lines never seem to stick to their schedules, how disappointing it is when the driver shuts the door in your face just as you get to the bus… 

And the guy smiled and said, “But you gotta remember – this is New York.  The meek ain’t gonna inherit this one.”
