Ferret-legging, San Francisco edition

ferret

A ferret, right?

Says jyhuang via skarecreau on Tumblr:

Someone carried this #creature on the bus, it looked like a guinea pig or hamster but the body length was quite long. #Creepin #pet #rat #weirdthingsyouseeonthebus

In any case, this probable ferret is more gangsta than all y’alls for riding Muni out in the open like this. Aren’t they still illegal in California? They are definitely still adorable in California and on this transit vehicle.

A ferret is new for us, but we’ve had our share of aww-inducing animal moments on Muni. See also: Cat in a bag. Indignant pug. Skippy the service iguana.

Ferret-legging is a thing, BTW, but this isn’t it.

If you ride Muni …

… you’re either “into seeing strange things,” oblivious, or just don’t give a damn.

Susan is the former, and posted the following snippet on our Facebook wall.

Guy on bus: are you into seeing strange things?
Me: sure
Him: that guy over there is rubbing motor oil all over his body.
Me: (looked over) Yes, he is. Only in SF.

I had trouble finding a photo to go with this story. I hope you understand.
