    MasterCylinder - I'm absolutely positive that the safety message issued by the NTSB was only for women.

    Oh no Shelby, now you've done it. You should apologize to those people in advance that might get stuck riding in the same train as MasterCylinder. That or offer to pay for therapy.

    Default Simply amazing

    I often wonder how some people can simply stand in a train and not move. Well this explains quite a bit! I wonder if she uses "buns of steel" workout videos? Well anyway that pales in comparison to the fact that I don't see any handy-wipe dispensers near by. Oh well, there could be a law suit waiting to happen when a five year old grabs the bar and looses his or her grip.

    PLEASE! This is VERY IMPORTANT! You must use the technique demonstrated by the gentleman near the door, otherwise God knows what can happen!



    I think now we know why Charlie couldn't get off of the M.T.A. In fact, isn't that Charlie?

    That's why while living in NYC, I never touched the pole without gloves or other protection.
