All of us who have traveled the NYC subway have our favorite subway stories. Most make for a few party laughs, while this one attempts to bring a smile at best, and extract an "awww" from them women maybe.. :)
This happened last week on the R to Manhattan.
This badly-dressed, lanky guy walked in with a big trash-bag hauled over his shoulder. He settled his bag down, dug in and removed some video tapes, and kept them on the seat. Hand into bag again, and removed some jeans. Hand into magic bag again, and out came some caps - he gave them to some mexican kids sitting opposite with their mother (and the family didn't seem to be doing too well, but that is purely judgemental). Next, he removed some stuffed toys from the trash bag and gave it to one of the girls. Then, out came some party accessories like horns and such - gave them to the kids as well. All along he wasn't smiling, completely impassionate face, not even making eye contact with the kids really (who were all grins by now), the whole thing done with a focussed face almost. The train was coming to the next stop, he quickly put in the jeans and video tapes back into his bag, and ..like_that_he_disappeared!

Its a line from the super movie, Usual Suspects. Another kicka** line from the same movie - "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist!"
" .. and then poof... he was gone."
