Argh! What is the MTA thinking. There have been talks about fines for putting your feet on the seats and riding between cars. Dude! People are going to ride between cars no matter what.

What is it about the summer? I got on the elevator and this caucasian lady look black. She must have been baking in the sun for 2 days because she looked like Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson 5. There is such a thing as sitting in the sun too much. And she [...]
