Remember things like this along about 2015, when people start talking about what a great President Bloomberg would make.

Y'all know why Methodists don't have sex standing up, don't you?
They're afraid it might lead to dancing.

I suspect alcohol was probably involved. But it was the cops who had it.....

Good thing there are no serious crimes on the subway at night.

Omni, I for one would vote for president Bloomberg in a heartbeat. I have had it with those people who live life like they are on the set of a musical. It's time to start cracking down!

I wonder if the musician was playing "The A Train"?

"On the clear understanding that this kind of thing can't happen, stop that dance, stop that dance, cut it out!"
I agree about musical fans, but I'm afraid a Bloomberg presidency would be too much like "The King and I."

Since they weren't inside a subway car and weren't dancing for money, I can see why the cop was confused.

Having cleared up its backlog somewhat, the Supreme Court should have plenty of time to look this over. Given the precedent of Terry vs Ohio, I expect that we'll see the fourth amendment restricted again, in cases where the officer has reasonable suspicion that a person may, in fact, be Fred Astaire in disguise.
