The Three Little Piggies and the Subway Turnstile There's no attendant at my local subway stop, so fare evasion is common. Sometimes one person pays and opens the door for their friends. Other times, like today, people jump the turnstiles. Or, they try... Three fat teenage fare evaders approached the turnstile. The first one tried to jump it, couldn't clear the bar, and went down with a splat. Protected by blubber, he got up unharmed. His friends were dying of laughter. Then the next one tried, and went down in the exact same way. More howls of laughter. The third little piggy was having none of it. He got down on all fours, on the filthy subway floor, like an actual pig, and crawled under the turnstile. He looked so pig-like I froze and stared.
