Yesterday, my good friend Celeste fell asleep on the streetcar, not only missing her stop, but also fully completing the route she was on; I thought of her when I found this 'Passed Out On Public Transit' photoblog.
POOPT (get it?) is dedicated to those who just can't manage to stay awake while commuting to and from wherever. 'Passed Out On Public Transit' is super funny, because I am pretty sure all of us have been there before.
