Transport Nutcases I

I am happy to say that I have a witness to the following, although anyone who has been in NY more than two weeks will easily confess that this is nothing out of the ordinary. My observation today is in two parts where this is the first entry. Field studies gives the following conclusion: In the sector of transport there is a higher than average amount of psychologically unstable individuals.
The last 24 hours I have had two encounters that underline this thesis and here I shall write the first one down:
Yesterday night going home with the subway there was a loud stinking man, who used the confinement of the subway car to sing and preach to us, the unfortunate audience of his madness and bad hygiene or possibly some other entity other then us, that only he could see and for about 15 minutes he kept us company weather we wanted it or not. At first he was only singing loud and between the short verses said or growled things that might be interpreted as begging, possibly for coin other then pennies. It is also notable that he as one of the misfortunate in this society choose to sing about the greatness of America. But I will leave that myth for another time. After the initial singing he choose to move down the wagon possibly basking but not being very apparent about it. When he had passed me he found a different man sitting down with his walker who also seemed to be a bit out there. The two men had a short exchange and it might have had something to do with military issues before the stinking man went back to stand to close to me, and threaten different passengers in his vicinity. He got angrier and angrier by the minute and went on to bark at us all as a collective and finally stormed out of the carriage shouting to silent passengers to shut up.
As this apparently insane man left the carriage he left the scene clear for the man with the stroller to let out his thoughts. Where there previously had been no room for him to talk to himself and everyone around him because of the stinky singing man there was now silence and the stroller man saw his chance to tell us all about his willpower and how he could easily "take down a whole line if he set his mind to it".
