Train Surfing

I was cracking up yesterday watching the contortions New Yorkers were going through trying not to put their hands on anything on the 6 train. One woman wrapped her leg around the center pole, another used her scarf to hang on to the hand rail. Others tried the surfboard method, riding with legs wide apart, hands flailing for balance. If you're that worried about the swine flu, maybe you should just get a box of latex gloves for your commute, yes? (But I did keep my hands off the escalator rail when I got to Grand Central.)
