The Funniest Thing of the Week

A photo caption from an article in today's New York Times, "M.T.A. Gets Bill When Armrests Chew Up Pants":

"Philip Horowitz, who commutes to Grand Central Terminal from Westchester, has had pants ruined twice by armrests on Metro-North trains."

This aggrieved customer takes his place among the others who "seemed to exhibit the classic symptoms of victims of abuse: guilt mixed with anger and shame. "

If this is the biggest problem facing riders of Metro North and the LIRR, then things are really just fine. Either that or the terrorists have already won.
