Motley thinks that the Lion was forced to fix every single subway sign in New York City, by hand painted by his paws. NYC doesn't have the cash to get new ones.

Glad to hear that LION is only human.

Will have to raise fares (probably to what was printed) to cover OOps costs!

Now back to potato peeling.

I will admit that BL's writing style is slightly unsual and the third person gets trying at times, but some of these posts are verging on abusive, AKA bullying.

Why don't we keep this on how the heck the New York Subway System could possibly make such a dumb mistake, and stop being rude to Broadway Lion.

LOL

Nah, we love the LION.   Yes

Of course, it remains to be seen if he loves us.   Broken Heart

We're not going to be hearing from LION any time soon.

He is already confined in the Abbey Jail.

This mistake will give him paws for thought.

I hope that he has a hold harmless claws in his contract.

This could prove CATastrophic.

Him not purring at the moment, Him is trying to figure out how much cat chow him will be cutting back on, and for how long.

Thanks for the laugh Rich Laugh
