miracle on the lex ave line

well there's this thing i've noticed for a long time now, on the lex ave line, actually happens on the 4 & 5 mostly. No, the virgin mary's face doesn't appear magically out of graffiti (especially since there isn't any more graffiti, graffiti is now as scarce as virgin marys as a matter of fact.). No, the doors don't chime "repent". No, jesus doesn't appear, walking on the third rail. in fact, there's nothing religious about it at all, unless your'e a musical theatre freak. and if you are a MTF, i don't wanna know. I hate musical theater.
Nonetheless, it is, in its way, a small, pleasant, secretive, old new york sort of miracle.
It is this: when the 4 and 5 pull out of a station (any station) the squealing gears or wheels play the first three notes of "There's a place for us" from West Side Story. They do. Yes they do. "THEEEEEERE's AAAA Plaaaace......" and then the gears catch and all you get is that whir of accelleration.

It's not like i haven't got anything better to do with my time. It's really not... just thought you all should know.
