The strangest thing I've seen this week was a young woman on the tube in rush hour with a bow and arrows slung over her back. I'm amazed the staff let her through the barriers. I wonder if she's ever tried that at an airport? It would probably just inspire confusion.
I started to speculate about why she had the bow and arrows. I hope it wasn't for self-defence, because I think in a struggle you'd be better off with a can of Mace or a fistful of keys. With a bow and arrows you'd barely have time to pull back the string before the mugger would be half way down the street with your handbag.
On the other hand, it might actually be a pretty good deterrent. It's easy to see from a distance, and you'd have to be a pretty confident attacker to decide to pick on a girl with a bow and arrows. After all, she could be a Vampire Slayer. Or an accidental time traveller from the Medieval past with a bad attitude. Or simply insane.

Have you seen The Weatherman? Walking around NYC with a bow and arrows is one thing, but getting on the tube? Anyway, you didn't post pictures, so I don't believe you.
