Walking to my bicycle parking spot after classes, I held my ears as three fire engines sirened by. As the fire engines approached the traffic signal, they made a loud honking, like a tyranosaurus might sound during coitus.

After they passed, a man who had been standing next to me said, "When you die and go to Hell, that's the music they play all the time."

Thanks a lot. I was just that guy that sits in a restaurant alone, reading his phone and then laughs way too loudly.

I wanted to say to the table next to me, "no, you don't understand... someone just compared a fire trucks siren to a t-Rex climaxing." Then they'd all understand and we'd laugh together, but I still wouldn't share my sushi with them.
