tales from the metro

My new favorite DC moment:

The scene: Riding the escalator down to the Dupont stop on the red line.

The players: Young Republican Andrew and me and assorted Metro riders

The action: YRA struggles with the complex physics of shutting his umbrella, deterring a young lady as she walks down the escalator to her train.

I reassure her: "It's OK. He's a Republican."

Her reaction: Understanding laughter.

MEAN!
I'm a Republican and I know how to shut an umbrella!!!

But, I thought that once you opened one you just threw it away and bought a new one....no?
Ah, to be rich and famous.
