Crowded Subway

（单词翻译:单击）

The subway car was packed. It was rush hour, and many people were forced to stand. One particularly cramped1 woman turned to the man behind her and said, "Sir, if you don't stop poking2 me with your thing, I'm going to the cops!"

"I don't know what you're talking about miss - that's just my pay check in my pocket."

"Oh really," she spat3. "Then you must have some job, because that's the fifth raise you've had in the last half hour!"
