Pants on fire

On the New York City subway, I bet nobody looked twice.

I'm reminded of a story from a few years back. A man apparently died on a subway train and ended up riding back and forth on the 2 train for some time until a maintainance man at the yard found him there. Apparently, everyone just thought he was asleep.

But that's not the good part (well, at least not for the dead guy).

Anyway, in covering the story, Channel 5 (the local Fox affiliate) sent a reporter to ride the 2 train, waking up people who were sleeping, to see if they were dead or not. I distinctly remember, to this day, the reporter tapping on some poor napping commuter asking, "excuse me sir. Excuse me. Are you dead?"
