    The New York Post ( http://nyp.st/2c1fvpK ) says a woman trying to sell crickets and worms lost her grip on her odd cargo when she got jostled Wednesday evening on a “D” train.

    Rider Chris Calabrese says startled passengers had crickets on their arms; his girlfriend was crying. The worms wriggled on the floor.

    Passengers moved to the other end of the subway car. Someone pulled the emergency brake and the train halted on the Manhattan Bridge.

    Calabrese says it was “the craziest thing” he’d ever seen on a train.

    It is a sad commentary on city life when people are brought to tears by harmless insects like crickets and worms. Time to go out in the country for a few days and learn about the world!
