Where Do You Get Off? Used Condom Dangles on 54 Bus

bus_condom.jpg

Back in March, reader Tony alerted us to the presence of a Route 54 bus rider wearing a jacket covered entirely by Asian call girl ads. Today, he sends the above photograph. The woman is apparently oblivious to the prophylactic's presence.

Did Tony do the gallant thing and let the woman know there was a used condom dangling precariously above her? In a word, no.

"Every time I thought about saying something, I started laughing," he explained. "I looked around and no one was even looking at it. Or looking at me laughing. I thought, 'You people are blind. You're fucking lemmings. There's a condom hanging up there and it looks very used'."
