While on the train....

....a man (approximately 45 years old, caucasian, bad hair, glasses perched on forehead) just answered his cellphone, and in a sing-songy puppy love voice said "Hi Sparky, how was your day today?"

My thoughts:
1) has this man considered seppuku as an honourable way to end things?
2) why is he talking to Dr. O'Donnell's wife?
3) I miss the Spanish day guy and those of his ilk that I used to bump into on the commute. BO aside, those were my kind of people.
4) why does the word "caucasian" have "asian" in it.
