Game of Death (MTR Style)...
I saw a fight on the MTR (Hong Kong underground rail) this morning. Not Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee-esque (as one would hope in Hong Kong). More like two middle-aged Hong Kong Weebles (Google it), one male, one female, slapping each other.
Imagine the scene. Crowded MTR carriage. People getting off in Causeway Bay. Woman gets off, turns around, and slaps man's shoulder. Outraged, man chases woman out of the carriage and pummels her shoulder, then scoots back on the train. Eyes filled with rage, woman runs back into the carriage and hits man's shoulder, quickly turning and running out again, swearing loudly in Cantonese. Man raises a middle finger as she departs, closing train doors ending Causeway Bay's own little Game of Death.
Man defiantly wipes tears from his eyes, staring stoically into the middle distance (and hoping like hell the train gets to Wan Chai so he can disappear into anonymity once more.
It must be Friday...
