Happy Friday From the Subway!

This is Sesame Street at it's absolute finest. It is with great pleasure that I now present to you, "Subway" from an early 1970's episode. Any New Yorker can tell you that it's entirely accurate today with the exception of the price (and the invention of the Metrocard). And the removal of those actual straps because they were too expensive to maintain (we're pole hangers, not strap hangers these days) I miss tokens. This Metrocard shit is annoying. They expire! What kind of crap is that?

i love how bert is the only one hanging on the entire time. he's got a pole...i mean a strap up his ass.

bert is afraid of germs. he's not touching a pole to save his life. he hangs onto that train with pure balance.
