Ok, so I nearly had a panic attack watching that. If I was one of the riders, I'd start screaming. And dying. I'd scream and die. After I died, I would still be screaming. This is claustrophobia. The Scream, Die, and Scream More disorder.

There may be many benefits to living in an ultra modern country like Japan, but I'm afraid my personal concepts of quality of life preclude this from being a desirable destination.

I wonder what sort of screening they do on people who want to work as subway people packers. In Boston lately there's been public discussion of packed subway groppers.

Oh, it doesn't look that bad, it is not like a bunch of snakes are in the over head compartment about to burst and there you are unable to move with snakes around your head and neck.

You have to admit, it looks efficient. Go Packers!

Looks like opportunities abound for the pickpocket, the serruptitious groper, and the chronically flatulent.

For an extra special experience, work your way in front of an interesting-looking person of whichever sex you find attractive, then turn around and face them just as the crowd behind surges forward. Great opportunities for hilarious conversation will ensue.

It's the democrats' answer to the gas price problem.

At least they won't bounce around much when the damned thing jumps off the tracks. :lol: And some people call this ultramodern society? Isn't that a total misrepresentation?

This is such a gonzo post. That's why he's da pope! I like the implication that
a tumescent person waits for a sufficiently crowded conditions to let fly...

Thank you. I prefer to walk, though. Dale can have my free subway pass.

You're welcome, Dale.
