Clothing creativity
We were riding the Blue Line to O'Hare when a dirty,smelly guy around 30 or so boards at Clark and Lake.
He was wearing a black XL hooded sweatshirt -- as pants. He had placed his legs through the armholes of the sleeves. He was very creative because he was using the hood as a fanny pack.
After he got off at Division, we looked over at his seat and found he had left a crumply bar of soap that looked like it had been whittled, plus a spoon.
It might have been better had he kept the soap and used it.
There was a naked man at Sheridan this a.m. on the platform. I didn't see him (luckily) but several people on my car looked very surprised and then started pointing and laughing about the "completely naked" man. Wondering if any of your readers saw more. I'm glad he didn't board the train.

Yes, the man that you saw completely naked on sheridan took all his clothes off on the train. He was in the last car. He first tore up money, started yelling and proceeded to take all his clothes off. Then he got off on sheridan and left all his clothes on the train.
