Subway Humper

So I sit down on the subway. The train is crowded, but I take the one seat next to the guy who's drinking. I'm tired.

This gentleman has a neck brace on, has clearly broken his nose a number of times, and is drinking with a straw from a can in a paper bag. He smells like beer, not body odor, just beer.

We're two express stops in when he starts groaning gently.

Soon, he stood up and starts gyrating around the the pole. He takes his neck brace off, sips his beer through his straw, and starts humping the railing.

Yes. A Subway Humper.

The picture isn't the best, but it's the best I could do with my phone camera--being that I was in the seat right next to the guy.....

So that's what happened to the girl from the Blind Melon Video

Okay. The title is taken from one of the finest blog comments I've ever heard period, on Gothamist. Spoken by a commenter named splicernyc.

This woman illustrates the "five second rule" eating a hot dog that falls on the ground on the subway. Is that disgusting? Quite. But whatever the source of her haze (heroin, painkillers?), the video is more than just a little mesmerizing.
