Breaking the Rules

From Gene Callahan's "London Diary":

Tuesday, Jan. 25: Breaking the Rules

While getting on the escalator at the underground station tonight, I noticed a sign reading:

STAND ON THE RIGHT
HOLD THE HANDRAIL
NO STROLLERS
DOGS MUST BE CARRIED

Well, I was standing on the right, I was holding the handrail, and I certainly had no stroller. But I wasn't carrying a dog!

Luckily, no one noticed. But I'm thinking of getting something small -- a rat terrier? -- so as to avoid trouble in the future.
