It's either performance art, or a service of the MTA. If you happen to be in Manhattan on the downtown ACE platform at the 42nd Street station at around 8:30am, walk to the north end of the platform, right next to the subway map, and you can enjoy the spectacle of two people engaged in serious, non-stop tongue-wrestling. The same couple is there every morning, for the past three days. When I walk down the stairs, they are frenching away. When I get on my train, they are still frenching away. I have not once seen them come up for air. I made a mental note of what they were wearing today, just to ascertain if they actually are going home at night. I'm tempted to show up early on the platform tomorrow, and tape a bogus service notice where the couple stands. "Please help keep our subways chaste. Keep displays of affection brief and tasteful."
I suppose I'm just jealous.
