How long is the average commute in America? Whatever it is, I’m sure my commute is shorter. My subway ride is less than 5 minutes and it rolls up right under my building in Center City. Thankfully, there are rarely ever delays when I hop on the EL, and when there are, they are usually because of train back-up or some minor technical problem with the train itself.
There was a slight delay this morning. No, there was no problem with the train this time. A water main break was not the cause. Criminal activity was not the reason we were stopped in a dark underground tunnel either. Our conductor came on over the speaker to let us know that there was a naked man running around at the next stop and that we would move once he had been caught. It was nice starting the morning off with a giggle. What surprised me was the general lack of laughter from other passengers. IT’S A NAKED MAN PEOPLE!
Our delay was not even two minutes long, so the guy must have been slow.

haha! your last comment made me laugh even more than the rest of the post! I would've busted a gut right along with you!! :) You also forgot to mention that the El is stopped every 10 years for the threat of Anthrax :)
