"Run Forrest run!"

I was just at a crowded bus stop downtown, and this bus had just pulled away, and this tall, skinny guy goes running by -- I mean he was moving! He must have been on the track team back in high school. Apparently it was vitally important that he catch that bus. And yes, everybody was yelling "Run Forrest run!"

The buses have to turn left at the corner in the next block, so they change lanes as soon as they pull away from the stop. The guy really had no chance to catch up, even though he was doing his best Jesse Owens imitation.
