Werewolf on the T

Do you remember when Michael J. Fox played the Teen Werewolf?(Maybe I'm dating myself, but I really was only a year old when this move came out...)

A while back, I boarded the bus on my way home (probably the crazy 86 again), and noticed that the man sitting across the aisle had werewolf hands. (Deep breath.) You know, long-haired, furry, extra long, beast-like hands. As I sat shocked, debating the whole "fight or flight" thing, I realized they were just gloves. At least that's what I keep telling myself. And I just kept wondering WHY? Sitting across from the beast, I think I managed to keep a straight face, but couldn't stop staring at his "gloves". It was past Halloween, and not close to the coldest day of winter, so I'm still left wondering, was all that really necessary?
