You know you are a New Yorker when you here a public speaker on a train start: “Good evening everyone...” on the subway and you continue to look down. Anyone not accustomed to the ways of the subway will immediately crane their necks to see who is about to make a public announcement on their train. Little do they know they will have been suckered into making eye contact with a handicapped/drunk/unemployed/homeless or just a regular fiend who is about to do a song and dance (literally) for some change to help them make it to the next day. Here’s to the cynical New Yorker who really knows “out of sight, out of mind”.
