But depending on what you do, you can poo shampoo. Yes, it's true. Not for me but for you. p.s. It took me four or five looks to figure out what the photo posted with this story even /is/. There's a lot of good photography on DCist, this isn't in that category.

You can't shampoo a shampooer.

I call BIG BS on Metro Security. Ride the subway and see people eating 3-course meals. Spitting out sunflower seed husks. Drinking their favorite beverage. People wearing large overcoats. Dogs and cats sleeping together. But seriously....I do feel safe. I know that if any well-minded person saw something really suspicious, that they would report it or jump off that train at the next station.

If there are no exceptions I'll go ahead and put my self on alert. Does this mean we get to submit to the much promised Metro Bag Search?

"What...I'm just trying to get to Pentagon City to buy some shampoo. Why are you hassling me? Shampoo." "Sir, what is wrong with you?" "Nothing! Arrghhh.....shampoo!!!!"

Now this is something that Fargo has over DC, I never have to worry about terrorism out here.

Will this make the subway less crowded? Because if it means that I'll be less compressed against scented humanity, I'm all for it.

Meh...I just rode the Metro for a first time in a very long time and it was nothing but your typical pre-holiday jackassery.

I head a plausible but unsubstantiated rumor that Peter Nickles changed his underwear, but it's only a rumor.

Krinkle, some guys would pay you for that "privilege."

so all it takes is some wackos saying it would be nice to attack a subway to put us in a tizzy? CNN and MSNBC are reporting that there are no plans for an attack, but that the subway in NYC would be a good target. Duh.

If you're going to carry your weed on the subway. Put it in an empty shampoo bottle and then shove it up....oh terrorists. Never mind.

Usually when I'm travelling on Metro and I have a bag, I'm either going to or coming from the gym. I hope if I get searched, it will be on the way home, and the searcher will get a handful of sweaty t-shirt and/or jock strap.

Ah, the Morlock uprising has begun. First exploding manholes and now attacks in our subways. This uprising has been foreseen with the end of days at DCUSA coming on Friday and the the arrival in January of he who rides unicorns on rainbows. Now we shall see who the true rulers of this earth are.
