In 1980’s New York, there were these people that would jam turnstile slots with something like gum wrappers.\u00a0 Then they’d wait for someone to stick a coin in, and go suck it out with their mouth.\u00a0 All for $1.50.<\/p>\n
Of course, tellers started catching on.\u00a0 It became an epidemic, and the victims who put the coins in would be let through because it wasn’t their fault.\u00a0 They were losing a lot of money.<\/p>\n
They began putting chili powder and mace to stop the kids, but the coin-suckers would just come back with buckets of water, throw them on the turnstile slots, and then throw the rest on the tellers.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are so many diseases in that line of work.\u00a0 Many often fell ill and couldn’t continue or even died.<\/p>\n
But police officers could do nothing about it.\u00a0 The only real solution was putting a cop at every single turnstile, but that could never happen.<\/p>\n
Finally, New York was forced to get rid of the turnstile slots.\u00a0 The system couldn’t stop them, so they were forced to change it.\u00a0 Maybe the coin-suckers didn’t set out to change things, but they did.<\/p>\n
I think that all is really beautiful.<\/p>\n
But I want to know if buying gum became suspicious, because many often used the wrappers to stuff in the machine.\u00a0 How did they carry buckets of water without people noticing?\u00a0 Who taught them?<\/p>\n
Roodharigendag is a Dutch festival celebrating natural redheads.\u00a0 I looked at pictures, and there isn’t a single person there that doesn’t look like a natural redhead.\u00a0 But I have many questions.<\/p>\n
There has to be people that aren’t naturally redheads but try to get in anyways.\u00a0 How forceful are they with removing them?\u00a0 Is it like a “Hey, please leave”?\u00a0 Because I feel like there would still be people who found a way in.<\/p>\n
Is it like beat-you-down-to-the-ground and the last thing you see are waves of red hair?<\/p>\n
There have to be wigs and things.\u00a0 Is there a test you have to pass?<\/p>\n
Furthermore, I read an article supporting Roodharigendag because apparently redheads are often discriminated against.\u00a0 They compared themselves to African-Americans, who were literally enslaved for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n
There was also a man that ran a mob in Japan, but he was caught recently in Thailand because his tattoos went viral on the Internet.\u00a0 He was just living the life of a modest farmer with a modest wife, but his former employees still brought him money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
