Thoughts from the Paris metro.....

I never did like the childhood game "twister". I only played it a couple of times and it seemed everyone got bored with it rather quickly.
Well, I had a flash back yesterday while I was riding the RER A back to Paris. It was rush hour and fairly hot down there for the time of year. So my question is this.... was the game created to get people used to public transportation? I could easily see this game as a forerunner to rush hour traffic cram session. For real, there are so many people at the entrance to the train and only a few poles on which to hold onto. So, right in front of you, you may have Pepe Le Pew stretching his arm across your nose. Wow!!! Toxic for sure. One just hopes the next stop is his.
My lovely wife thinks she has figured out the whole perfume thing here in France. She now wears a little perfume on her wrist just in case she smells the stink-o on someone while traveling on the metro. Its always better to smell yourself than someone else I suppose.
