mid 90s, visiting paris france. we're taking the underground back to our hotel, it's like 11ish in the evening. an elderly woman gets on the train and proceeds to strip from the waist up, then danced around with a hat for change. if you ever wondered what a couple of tangerines looks like in an old, old athletic socks, that describes the situation. and she did not proceed down the row until she got a donation.

that's the strangest thing I've ever seen on public transit.
