Auto shop owner crashes customer's Porsche during "test drive"
He hit speeds as high as 164 mph and flipped the car on a road shoulder, doing $50,000 in damage to the 2008 Porsche Boxster. Repair charges are on the house, I'd guess. (Naples Daily News)

I can understand this. The subway is a pretty sexy place.

Yeah, subways are so hawt! What is a straphanger?

One guy plays with his chicken on the subway, and another chokes his. NYNY, its a helluva town!

reno;
When all seats are taken, loops hanging from overhead bars keep standees from falling.

I consider myself a bit of a straphanger... in my pants!
Posted by: Torgo | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 09:39 AM
I can respect the sentiment, if not the deed (in public anyway).
Posted by: IronOre | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 09:40 AM
The correct response is: "Hey! Look at this guy exposing himself!" Be sure to laugh loudly.

Did he order him to knock it off, or just to put it away. I, too, would have been resistant to the former.

Thanks thomas. I myself have been a straphanger then. Makes for a much more interesting trip that way.

Who says Americans aren't concerned about getting the job done?

Straphanger is slang for any subway rider.
There haven't been actual straps since the 50s, they were replaced with metal loops which have now been replaced with horizontal bars.

Lou, they still use the straps on our local buses. Of course by the Drunk Mom story you can see what some of our local bus riders look like.

Maybe he was on his way to the Miss America Pageant after hearing who was going to judge it. ;)

I can deal with a perv masterbating. It's the "Go to church or the devil will get you" folks who get on my nerves.

The taking of Pelham 1 stroke 2 strokes 3 strokes.
Or, riding the chubway.

I was referring strictly to the subway but I'm surprised that any mode of transit still uses leather straps.
Are these newer buses Reno? It seems so quaint.
Posted by: Lou Sussler | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 11:17 AM
That's a wonderfully reinforcing thing for increased
funding of public transit...Christ, no wonder people
don't look each other in the eye anymore.

@ Reno
You're giving me shivers...
Posted by: Krash | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 11:19 AM
Lou, they are the diesel fume spewing kind of buses, although I heard a rumor one or two natural gas buses were around here. No 'lectric ones.
Posted by: Reno | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 12:02 PM
I always assumed that the straps on the buses were so that, when you reached the inevitable conclusion that a life that involved schlepping on the bus with dolphin-waxing weirdos wasn't worth living, you could just hang yourself.
Posted by: Handy Dandy | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 12:07 PM
"schlepping on the bus with dolphin-waxing weirdos"
WTF?
Posted by: Emperor Norton the 1st | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 01:03 PM
That is hysterical.

"Dolphing waxing..., ... hang yourself."

The pylon cone reads "Caution, VERY Slipper Floor".
Posted by: LimeGreenLizard | Friday, January 29, 2010 at 03:27 PM
maybe he was listening to "when I think about you I touch myself"

In my town, a bus is just a place that these human scum can molest, nettle, bother, offend, assault other people where they can't get away. In this way, a busride is like a brief stay in the city jail.
