Set a Course for Adventure

The O'Jays may want to have a word with the municipal government of Prague about its plan to have some of the cars on its subway trains be "singles only."

It seems that in Prague, the old advice about never making eye contact with someone on the subway doesn't always hold true, and city officials are considering having one car per train be one of nothing but single folks. Those single folks, of course, might meet up and soon become ineligible for the car.

The potential problems are what happens if one's spouse or significant other learns that one has traveled in the car, whether or not by accident. I'm also not sure how single status will be verified. Either way, it will be interesting to see if the Prague subway hires a wacky conductor named Hlodavec who after retiring from his job runs for a seat in the Czech Parliament.
