Passengers remove trousers for No Pants Subway Ride
Despite a cold snap across much of the northern world, users of public transit systems in a number of cities took off their trousers for No Pants Day.
The event, which began in New York City in 2002, sees participants with bare legs mingling with other passengers.
Organisers Improv Everywhere say 3,000 people took part in New York with more in 43 other cities in 16 countries.
The group says its mission is to cause "scenes of chaos and joy in public places".
Participants were told to meet at a designated train station fully clothed before boarding and removing their trousers.
People are urged to keep a straight face, act normally and not acknowledge other people without trousers.

Well, at least it reduced the chance for an underwear bomber to attack.

It’s clear that as people become more “modern” and wealthy, their lives have increasingly LESS meaning. Removing one’s pants on public transport is now considered “fun?”
