Are you nimrods still leaving stuff on the subway?

You loved it the first time, and now the MTA has a brand new sign telling us who to call when we lose something on the subway. The earlier sign showed us that people were leaving cobras, crutches and prosthetic limbs behind... let's see what they are leaving now.

It's good to see that people have stopped leaving medical equipment behind. No, wait... what's that? A stethoscope? Maybe that's why during my last appointment with my doctor she didn't listen to my lungs. It's not that she couldn't be bothered as I had thought, but instead she had left her stethoscope behind on the train that morning.

What else do we have here? A table fan. Sure, I get that. It gets really hot in the subway during the summer. It would be wise to have a table fan for the ride. Of course they forgot to picture the wireless power supply that keeps it running, gonna need that for the table lamp too. The hairdryer is a little strange, but some young lady might carry it with her just in case she has to take a walk of shame. She may be wearing the same slutty outfit from Friday night at 9am on a Saturday morning, but at least her hair looks good.

People are sure leaving lots of sport equipment behind these days. Tennis ball/baseball, sure. Raquet, okay. Dumbbell, perhaps. But skis? I don't think so. If you are carrying skis on the subway you are either standing and holding them or they are laying against you because there is nowhere to lay them flat. Oh yeah, and skiers aren't stupid. Now if there was a snowboard on here I would have believed that.
