It's like commuting, but without the pants. Straphangers throughout New York City nonchalantly stripped to their underwear from the waist down Sunday afternoon as part of a global practical joke coordinated by prankster outfit Improv Everywhere.
To participate in the 11th annual No Pants Subway Ride, the only requirements were people had to be “willing to take pants off on subway” and “able to keep a straight face about it," organizers said in a post on their website.
To maintain the surreal atmosphere, the pantsless commuters were instructed to chat, read and listen to music like they normally would have if clothed.
Dozens of other cities, including London, Washington and Mexico City, were also slated to strip off their pants on public transit today, organizers said. More than 6,300 people had accepted a Facebook invitation to participate in the event by 3 p.m. Sunday.
Below is the story about the pantless on the DC subway. I would have gone somewhere on the subway today if I knew.
