Converstations with taz

To give you a brief introduction about taz, hes a male flight attendant and he travels all over the world. And being on the same mental wavelenght as i am it creates many a zany converstations. Yesterday he told me something that i just cant get over. He just got back from Osaka Japan and this is what he saw there.

In the subway, during peak commuting hours, at each entrance door of the trains, stands 2 or 3, glove and surgical mask wearing bouncer type people, who once the commuters enter the train will adjust the way you stand and push and pull you in spaces so the most amount of people can fit in efficiently in one bogey... its like human tetris.

i love the japanese for things like this. they didnt make the train bigger. but they just squezzed more people in efficiently...

& i love the bombay railway system for perfecting the system. we have this process automated...
