I’m not sure if I’ve ever written about a guy that we call “crab man” on the subway before.  He has only one arm, of which the top half is sort of normal looking, and the bottom half is well, maybe four inches long, AND HE HAS TWO DIGITS!  A thumb, and a ring finger - and it makes his hand look like a crab claw!  Take a look.

What’s not pictured is his sweaty face.  His face was indeed [redacted] to protect the innocent…

The man is a seriously profuse sweater, and he is always carrying a hankerchief in his “crab claw” so that he can keep his face sweatbead free - this is his same ”crab claw” that he also uses to tap the beat of his iPod music on the subway poles.
