THE WORLDWIDE EPIDEMIC OF STRIPPERS IN SUBWAYS

It has spread from Romania to Chile. And yet, incredibly, the so-called "United Nations" has done nothing. To encourage it, we mean.

Life can get dull on the subway, so why not!

Did the Roumanian leave her hat on?

[Meanie the Blue]

Please mind the gape.

I thought she was a Pole-ish dancer...

[Jeff Meyerson]

I demand pictures of her in the "skimy underwear" and I want them now!

Or more caffeine, whichever comes first.

[Jeff Meyerson]

That's skimpy

Got a little excited there.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Definitely better than 'skimy'

We could all use more of those "happy moments".

Note to self: When in Bucharest (next month!) look for subway cars without guards or CCTV cameras.

I was in Germany last year (my trip was beer related). A couple of guys got on the train car I was on with an accordian. The train driver immediately came on the PA and told people in German, English and French not to give them any money - that it was against the law to beg on the train and to give them money (though, strangely, it's apparently not against the law to have an accordian).
I see this situation as a more than reasonable alternative to begging for money while playing an accordian. Or begging for money in exchange for not playing an accordian.

Mrs. Rittenhouse: You are one of the musicians? But you were not due until tomorrow.

Ravelli: Couldn't come tomorrow, that's too quick.

Spaulding: Say, you're lucky they didn't come yesterday!

Ravelli: We were busy yesterday, but we charge just the same.

Spaulding: This is better than exploring! What do you fellows get an hour?

Ravelli: Oh, for playing we getta ten dollars an hour.

Spaulding: I see...What do you get for not playing?

Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour.

Spaulding: Well, clip me off a piece of that.

Ravelli: Now, for rehearsing we make special rate. Thatsa fifteen dollars an hour.

Spaulding: That's for rehearsing?

Ravelli: Thatsa for rehearsing.

Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing?

Ravelli: You couldn't afford it...Heh...you see, if we don't rehearse, we don't play...And, if we don't play...That runs into money.
