A first

Saw a woman tonight on the subway listening to something through tell-tale white headphones, the ones that apparently attract muggers...but the headphones were attached to a discman. Why? A secret hope that her stuff would get snatched so she could replace the 'man with the 'pod? A love of the status-symbol aspects of the iPod but a lack of interest in its actual functions? Makes no sense.

Money tacky without the money.

I bet the iPod was camouflaged inside the discman, since she knows full well what a target those iPods are.

Or perhaps someone gave her the buds after replacing them with something better?

Sounds like an undercover agent to me.

She likes her earbuds better than whatever crappy headphones came with her old Discman but hasn't burned all her CDs yet?

If she's held up she can yell "April Fool".
