1. Magic stairs that allow you to go up AND down!
2. Please sit if you are old, injured, have children or a heart outside your body. Especially if your heart is outside your body. Actually you should probably go to the hospital.
3. The bathroom for people who really, really need to go and can't hold it anymore.
4. Only tiny dogs that can fit in your purse are allowed.
5. Problems that arise when your heart is outside your body.
6. This is an electric fence. Touch it and your hair will stick up like mine.
7. Standing only. Even though there is a bench behind you. Everyone else is doing it.
8. Quick! Get on the train before the old, injured, pregnant or sick so you can keep your seat.

1. an Optimist and a Pessimist using the stairs

if you run fast, the escalator technically goes up and down

2. you may experience heart problems if you are in the window seat of the emergency exit row of an aircraft if these are the people to your left

3. if you cannot tell the difference between these two very distinct forms of bowing, stick with the handshake.

4. According to celebrities, miniature dogs are no longer desirable fashion accessories. This season’s hot new trend is a handbag with a small cartoon dog on it.

5. Don’t talk to strangers. Especially if that stranger likes to wear a uniform and carry a long pole with a big hook on the end. Just buy a new hat.

6. Beware. You are nowhere near a zoo, where this lion would be watched over by professionals and kept behind a secure perimeter fence. This is a homemade fence in my backyard. And I can’t find my lion.

If you are angry with your travel agent for sending you on a Japanese jungle safari, please feed me your travel agent

7. 4 people standing in front of an empty public bench means one of two things: wet paint or big splinters

8. Tryouts for the Synchronized Mass Transit Olympic team today at Shinjuku station
