I don't like Mondays

[muckefuck]

This morning my train arrived just as I reached the platform. I ran down as far as I dared before jumping on and was delighted to find an entire end of the car empty. Peace and quiet and nobody kicking the back of my seat! Before I could sit down--before the smell even hit me--I spotted the gigantic piece of human excrement in the centre of the aisle.

It's been that kind of day.

Gigantic, you say? How big is "gigantic"?

Just curious. ;-)

I doubt you could pick it up without it breaking apart.

My rule for late-night el rides is that if you see a mostly empty car on an otherwise crowded train, there's a darn good, usually olfactory, reason to select one of the crowded cars. I hadn't thought the principle applied to morning rush too...

I remember those rides. It was worse when it was a person sitting in their own excrement because people felt a little rude moving away.

But you lose some, you win some -- I remember my first summer in Chicago getting onto an El car on which the A/C had gone out. People during rush hour on crowded platforms would walk on, feel the heat, and walk right off again. Good Okie boy that I was, I just folded my tweed into my lap and enjoyed a pleasant ride home.

(Absolute agreement with you on everything else substantive, though -- I had my first final this morning....)

Ah, yes, this good Missouri boy has done that, too.

It was probably my excrement.

I do that sometimes to get an area all to myself.

Yuck! At least it could've been dog doo. That's less bad.
