You could spend the extra time flossing now that a train's dead at Downtown Crossing

The MBTA reports "moderate" delays on the Orange Line towards Forest Hills due to a train giving up the ghost at Downtown Crossing, which has apparently become the go-to place for Orange Line trains that have lost the will to live.

Who
Comes up with the corny headlines?
Gnomes
Gnomes hard at work in the rhyme mines of western Pennsylvania. When a train breaks down, somebody at the breaking-news desk inside UHub command central picks up the red phone, the one with just a single button to press instead of a dialpad, and alerts the gnomes to get cracking.
Or, at least, that's what I tell myself as I sit at my scrivener's desk, green eyeshade jauntily fixed on my head, with a pencil I've just touched to my tongue, as I prepare to write out another headline after the semaphore indicating another broken train switches from "Clear" to "Dead Train."
I think
the gnomes are really happy that it's Friday, and are starting the weekend a little early.
OMG, NO
WHY would you encourage people to engage in what should be private personal grooming in front of a captive audience of fellow T-riders? Please tell me you don't have T-related rhymes on file for nail filing, clipping, etc.
