2. the entertaining part
was trying to maintain my grip on the hand hold, while avoiding the snot stream. If you have ever been on a NYC subway, if you let go before the train stops completely=certain death....

4. My dear PaddyBlueEyes...
I suspect that the folks on the subway are more thoughtless than nasty...

I could be wrong, of course...

Your little incident sounds awful, sweetie...:hug:
