“Once I saw a duck walking down the street so I went into Subway and ordered two pieces of bread, and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some speical rule at Subway that two pieces of bread weren't allowed to touch. So the woman asked me what I wanted on the sandwich and I said I do not care it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it's free. I was not aware that ducks eat for free at Subway.

His thinking is guided by what's in his heart, gut, and head.”
Fabian Nunez
“If you can ride the subway for $2 and go everywhere, then I guess 25 cents to go to the bathroom isn't too bad.”
Scott Reeves
“The city isn't obligated to permit an event on a public street that encourages the vandalism of subway cars in the name of selling T-shirts and video games.”
