Subway Story No. 5

A man wore a sandwich board on the uptown six train. The sign advocated Gravity Transduction Mechanisms as an alternate form of energy, over even solar power. At Astor Place a group of students boarded. One wore a huge green hat in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Another had jammed an Irish flag into her backpack. They looked over the sandwich board and asked questions of the man. The man handed out flyers.

One of the students said he had an invention of his own, the double-lidded peanut butter jar. "You know how when you get to the bottom it's hard to get it out? Just turn it over and unscrew the bottom." One of his friends pointed out that peanut butter now came in squeeze tubes. The inventor was unfazed. Personally, I think there's something wrong about squeezing peanut butter out of a tube like toothpaste. Posted by eku at March 17, 2004 2:35 PM
