I’m sorry, but I can’t hear you

(Reuters, Oct 12, 2006) : New York subway could be damaging to ears

Could be? I cannot have a phone conversation (you’d think I would have stopped trying by now) on the Manhattan bridge because I can’t hear a thing over the passing trains. I thought we already knew that deafening roars are not good for your poor ears.

And don’t give me that lecture about people who talk on cell phones in public–it doesn’t count if I am alone walking over the bridge.
