The conductor had to bend to not hit his head on the train doorways. I looked at him and asked in French “Do you know you look a lot like John Kerry?” He did, hair, cheek bones, even the jacket he was hanging up looked like the one Kerry wore in Ohio during the primaries.
“Ah bon?” He asked. Ah bon, is one of those all purpose phrases in French that can be thrown into all most any conversation along with ça va, et puis, alors and qua.
He moved on but a little later I heard him say to the other conductor that the red-headed woman said he looked a like John Kerry although he pronounced is Jeahn Kah ree.
