Before you can enter into the subway turnstiles you must first pass through a security checkpoint. The checkpoint has an x-ray machine and a number of "security" personnel. The security personnel don't look like they could deal with a lot in the way of a real emergency but they certainly let you know they are in charge. As we were walking past one of the checkpoints on our way out of the subway we stumbled on this scene: Imagine a women in her mid to late 40's, slightly overweight wearing a security uniform and holding a small black megaphone very near her mouth and clearly appearing to be having a bad day. Next imagine a slightly confused and perhaps somewhat helpless gentlemen approximately the same age standing directly in front of the security women looking right at her asking her a question. I'm not making this up when I say she actually responded to his question over the megaphone. She could have leaned forward a couple of inches and touched him with the megaphone that was how close they were to each other. Julie and I lost it.
Megaphone - $25
Security Uniform - $40
Reasserting your position of authority and dominance over the little people... Priceless. Some things money can’t buy…
