Hey this is a good one...

On the train ride home - this guy stumbles into me as he passes my seat... then bounces off the seat opposite mine, and then the seat in front of me and finally squeezes into a seat next to an unfortunate woman.  He tries to talk to her in a mumbled, slurring banter. He then promptly passes out. He slowly falls out of his seat into the walkway. A few stops later, the woman needs to get off the train but can't wake him. A couple of us yell him to semi-consciousness and she sort of climbs over him. Some nice citizen (not me) asks him where he's going and he responds LOWELL (we're on the Newburyport train)... so someone gets the conductor who wakes him again and tells him he's on the wrong train... all he does is hold a fist in the air and mumble "Go Celtics" then passes out again...  There is NO WAY this guy made it home.

I love it! And this my friends is what the parade is all about! Young kids getting so shitfaced they end up taking the wrong train home. To be honest it's the conductors fault for letting this guy get on the Newburyport train to begin with. I mean this dude has Lowell written all over him. I bet the Newburyport sheriff threw him in jail the second the train crossed the border.
