“It’s a slippery slope”

Yesterday, on Metro-North, I sat next to a guy wearing a bathrobe.  He was reading a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke, and popping pills.  It was weird.

I arrived at home and told Greta.  She laughed, and then pointed at me and said “You see, it’s a slippery slope.”

That really made me laugh.  Sure, I’m a strange guy, and I love science fiction, but am I that strange?  Can any of you people actually see me riding a commuter train in a bathrobe?

  • Nah, you're such an exhibitionist; it would be a wifebeater and boxer shorts.
  • Bathrobes: they're not just for post-shower lounging anymore. My children figured this out at the age of 3. Didn't you get the memo?
  • What kind of bathrobe was it, and what kind of shoes was he wearing? And what did he look like? Just curious...
  • It was a checkered flannel robe, and he wore the matching PJ-style pajama pants with it.

    What kind of shoes? Big puffy white slippers! (obviously)

    The mental picture of his face has sort of faded from my memory, but he was a white guy, mid-twenties, with dark hair and acne.
