Waiting for the F train at Broadway-Lafayette last night, I spotted a rat — carrying fabric in its snout — scurry from underneath the platform toward the third rail.
At first glance, it seemed that the rodent was transporting a pair of women’s panties — for what purpose I could not imagine. Then the rat dropped the object momentarily and indeed it was a pair of skivvies. Nothing fancy. Just a sensible pair of white cotton underwear.
The rat then picked the undies back up and went on its way.
