Years ago I was on the subway heading to Southie and a guy stepped aboard with a bunch of other passengers. Immediately, the fella sitting next to me jumps up and excitedly walks over and embraces this guy who just came on. "My God it's Tom Flanagan! How long's it been, brother? Ten years? Man, the times we used to have! Great to see you and you're looking very robust, Tommy!" Tommy looks a little sheepish and responds with, "Yeah, I been pretty robust for a few years. Just got out of the joint last month after doing 5 years in Concord (state prison)" I belly laughed.
