Metro Eloquence

This morning, on the metro, I sat in front of a man who very enthusiastically, and at great volume ranted incessantly for no apparent reason about something that made no sense. Which in and of itself isn't that interesting. While the metro in the summer is usually a decent mix of mid-level professionals and tourists, there is still the occasional vocal  possibly unbalanced passenger. What was interesting about this guy, was he had one of the most impressive vocabularies I've ever heard. Some nice rhetorical devices were thrown in as well. Alliteration, $5 dollar words, the whole shebang. Don't get me wrong, what he was saying so eloquently didn't make a lick of rational sense. But he said it very well.
