The MTA may be raising the subway fare from $1.50 to $2.00, which is causing an uproar. The Straphangers Campaign has a petition on their website to protest the fare hike, and some of the entries are hilarious. These are two of my favorites:

"I am almost never guaranteed a seat, but always guaranteed an armpit to stand under." S. Rose, Brooklyn

"It doesn't pay to go to work anymore if I have to pay $4.00 a day for transportation. I'd rather stay home and collect unemployment." P. Anderson, Brooklyn
