They all want to talk to me

I was waiting for the bus this morning and saw a guy walked by who I first saw years ago, getting off a bus downtown... I went back to my notes for the full story.
It was about 5:30 in the evening, and I was waiting to meet Miz Becky on the 308 heading home. This guy gets off of a bus, makes eye contact with me, winks, and walks over. He's in his late 60's, short, pudgy, unshaven but clean.
He looks up as he gets to me, and says "I had never lifted weights in my life, never worked out. I was down there in the south seas and on a bet, on my first try, I pressed a hunner-sisty pounds. Most guys can never do onesisty. It was all that shovelling coal and that."
He winked again, and walked off.
