The City That Never Strays Today I saw a clown on the F train doing his "act" for the unsuspecting riders. Now some out-of-towner would read that and think "Only in New York. They're accustomed to that sort of thing there." People assume us New Yorkers are used to stupid crap like that, when we really aren't. There's the same knee-jerk reaction to any weird thing you might see, where you just think "What the hell is this?" as you stare in horrific fashion/laugh and point. But after a few seconds it just gets thrown into the "still not the weirdest thing I've seen in my life" folder.
