No pants day on the Red Line.

I heard about this on the radio this morning. I don't know about this.....first of all, it's FREEZING (well not literally, but for California) here right now. Second, I would not want my private parts that close to the seat where others parts have been very close. Did that make sense?

Luckily I don't have to take public transportation on a regular basis. I'd do no pants in my car!

Yes, it does. And I wouldn't either.

Best part of the story is that it is ok to ride the subway without pants because it is not "in violation of the penal code."

very clever, really... BUT, one could wear reg clothes until you enter the car (Metro). No problem getting to the Metro. Once on... they don't mean no undies AT ALL. What is done is little (too little for many sensibilities) short type panties. All in mid-winter doldrums and on a public trans systems that is waaaaay short of a sense of humor at any time of day. Big whoop. It was a small (in some cases

) attempt at jocularity

When I lived in Cambridge, MA, I took the bus just about everywhere. One time this guy got on and sat in the seat opposite me. The whole trip he was coughing and hacking and sneezing and wiping his nose with the back of his hand. Then, about to get off before my stop, he stood up and wiped the back of his hand on the seat. BLEEAAAAAGHHHH!

I wanted to spray down the seat.. maybe the whole bus.. with Lysol. I wondered how many other times this guy, and others in similar shape, ride the same buses I do and leave similar donations behind.

I thought: This is God's way of telling me I should get a car!
