It's a packed subway on Monday morning, right smack in the middle of the rush hour commute and in the commotion of the transfer at 59th st, my bag happens to hit some guy in his leg.
The guy proceeds to get in my face and say, "Come on muthaf&*ker, say something and I'll crack you in your head." Normally, I wouldn't think too much of it and just disregard it as your average NYC bullshit...except this guy was rocking enough prision ink that he would scare off someone like Adebisi from OZ. 
The real kicker was the teardrop tattoo underneath his left eye. The teardrop tattoo is typically a prison tattoo. The teardrop meant that the wearer had committed at least one murder. In some places, it meant that the wearer had committed a murder in jail. This tattoo then had the power to warn away other convicts, and establish an image for the wearer, of self-defense that is imperative in the prison system.In this case, the teardrop made me get off the train and wait for the next one in order to get to my office!
