And the funny part of it all?

Section 1050.7, subsection I of the Code of Conduct of the Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York City:

Conduct himself or herself in any manner which may cause or tend to cause annoyance, alarm or inconvenience to a reasonable person or create a breach of the peace; *

And I SO wanted to engage in a rousing few verses of Kumbaya with the passengers too :( :( :(

Actually, going through some of these sections of the code..some of the things they go to the TROUBLE of mentioning you can't do (slideshows, poker, riding a bicycle, driving a car into the subway) and CAN do (Bring a weapon on board, so long as it's completely out of sight and unloaded..You can keep the bullets in the other pocket) are hilarious...

What gets me is that the MTA actually goes to the trouble of telling you what you can and can't do to the point of absurdety, just to keep anything overly silly from happening... Could you just IMAGINE the melee if people started driving their cars in Subway tunnels, bringing Radioactive materials onto subway cars, Riding on the Roof, or heaven forbid, bring a drink in an open container....

Failure to Obey the Code of Conduct can result in either a fine of up to $100, or Ten days Inprisonment...So much for the Blackjack tourney

People would get really annoyed if they were shot or stabbed in the subway and since So Cal does not have subways, that I know of, the people are getting shot and stabbed in the metro trains...I hear reports almost daily on this annoyance.
