Another Gem from the Wire

Watching The Wire the other day, season 2, and truth be told there isn't too too much that can be quoted. There are more irreverent words and curses every few seconds that it might give Goodfellows a run for its money.

However, there is one that grabbed me almost as much as Bubbles' "thin line between heaven and here" (see here). Bodie asks one of his runners how things are going. The response he gets, and it doesn't phase him as it did me, was;

"Slower than a white man wearing slippers."
