I took a personal day today and was out messing around head to Strands bookstore to get some books i wanted to buy .. i was going into the subway after lunch and was stopped by the NYPD before going into the subway ..

the only question i got asked was why the police flashlight ..i asked her would she like to help a carry a 275 pd person who is my size out of the subway tunnel in total darkness if the power goes out down there and can not see where you put your footing inside the tunnel and you mess up your ankle or breaks a leg down there ..

that seam to answer her question and then i was told have a nice day by officer G and i was on my way down into the subway entance and i catch my train to the stop i was going to get off at the bookstore block

I can understand why they didn't ask about the baby wipes given today is the day of Rapture, just in case you soil yourself. Hell I think Ill carry some baby wipes today just in case, aloe included of course.

Henry,
Was the police flashlight visible?

modquad,
Don't worry. I have it on good authhority that NOBODY from NYC will be raptured up today. Only 2 Mormons from Salt Lake City, a Scientologist from LA and a clerk from Best Buy somewhere in Indiana so far. Nobody who would be missed.

On the other hand, suppose you dropped the flashlight in the subway, and fell onto the track bed while bending down to pick it up...

If I was a cop, I think I'd be afraid to stop and search you. You carry way too much stuff around--as if you thought it was possible to be prepared for anything. Hint: it isn't. Sometimes you just have to react to the situation at hand.

And in case you want something else to think about, try this: in a real emergency, if other people see that you've got stuff they wish they had, don't be surprised if you get mugged for some of it. People aren't always nice and polite in real emergencies.
