Sterling Grey Contact Lens

New eyes

Gay Christian?

Is this a gay Christian fish symbol?

Because, that is how I'm choosing to interpret it ... 

Dear Commuter ...

who decided that just as the train is arriving was the right time to purchase a $50 ticket - with a bag full of 20c coins.

I’m sure it’s okay. I mean, all of the commuters behind you wanted to miss that train and catch the next train … no, really.
