Woah! Did you know that Charlie finally got off that MTA train?

[sniffa]

According to one account, Charlie did get off the train . In the mid 1980s, the fare for senior citizens was reduced to 10 cents. Charlie had a wife and family (read: kids), so we'll assume that he was at least 21 when he first got on the train. By 1983, he would have been 65 years old, would have qualified for a senior citizen fare of ten cents, which he had paid in full at Kendall, and would have gotten off the train in Jamaica Plain. Now as for getting back...

1. I forgot to add that it took an MIT student to figure out that Charlie's fate was learned

[av8rdave]

2. But did he ever return?

No, he never returned!

[sniffa]

3. Supposedly got off in Jamaica Plain in 1983

Why he wouldn't just go back to Kendall is beyond me.

6. Poor old Charlie!

4. I never understood why Charlie's wife could hand him a sandwich

But not a nickel as the train came rumbling through

5. Sandwiches were not legal tender

and they only cost a penny.And besides, Charlie was a Commie.
