From a few<\/a> sources<\/a>, but I just had to share this for my friends who might not have seen it yet. Behold, the power of show tunes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

This morning I had the most bizarre subway ride. I board the Number 3 train at Grand Army Plaza after 9 a.m. Find a seat, then settle into reading Henry James for class. I hear a woman’s voice gradually rising in volume. She is preaching the “Lord’s” word to the train car’s sleepy riders. Of course, I had forgotten the headphones for my subway evil sounds blocking device. The train stops and starts.
\nThe words denigrating “gay devils” reach my ears. I stand up.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> “Excuse me, but do you mind keeping your voice down, I am trying to read.”<\/p>\n

Preacher Lady:<\/strong> (screams) “I got to testify.”<\/p>\n

Preacher lady hitches up her skirts and tells me that I am going to hell for interrupting you-know-who’s word. Two or three OTHER Christian ladies on the train start shouting at me and discussing my prospects as the Devil’s prison bitch. The last straw was a 50 something red faced man in a suit slamming his Bible towards my face.
\nThere was only one thing I could do.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> “If you all don’t lower your voices and cease calling me Satan, I will have to sing show tunes.”<\/p>\n

The other straphangers look at me with stony faces.
\nI begin to sing.
