This seems to be kind of a weird shark week this year. After all, it was only a couple of days ago that I posted about someone leaving a shark behind at a bar, and now a dead shark was removed from the NYC subway. However, I can’t understand why the shark was removed. After all, it had a fare card.
Just take a look:
See? The dead shark has a red bull, a cigarette, and a fare card. However, when the conductor found the shark, he closed the train and took it to the end of the line where a supervisor put the shark in a garbage bag and threw it away.
And that is what I don’t understand. If the dead shark had a fare card, why did they kick it off the train? Is the NYC transit authority prejudiced against dead sharks? I don’t remember seeing anything about dead sharks not being allowed to ride the subway. If they are going to have a ‘no dead shark’ policy, perhaps they need to say something about it before the dead shark buys his fare card.
In any event, all dead shark discrimination aside, this is turning out to be one of the weirder shark weeks I can remember. Usually they just stay on the TV.
