We all need self time...what better way than on a crowded commuter train.

remember getting into work and heading straight for the bathroom to wash all the newsprint off your hands?

Good point - especially in that example. In the environment of a restaurant or waiting room for a doctor or dentist or hearing/eye specialist, I see most everyone 'in' their cell phones. Haven't seen anyone reading the paper yet, much less THAT many people doing so. Still; the point is valid!

Remember the wafting clouds of cigarette smoke along with the rustling of newspapers?

yep, we had smoking and non smoking carriages, 2 to 1 in favor of smoking. But we also had open train doors so at least some of it got out.Remember the wafting clouds of cigarette smoke along with the rustling of newspapers?

@jkuvakas This was a pic of the first of a chain of Klarg's Cavern eateries circa 2300 B.C. The process Klarg pioneered, which really became popular, was called "Bring What Ya Bashed". The patrons are perusing the drinks menu while waiting for their fresh kill to be cooked. Pic was taken by Klarg's brother Kodak.
