I was on the train on Friday night going to the City and this women got on who I think had... leprosy!

I don't really know very much about leprosy, but she looked like the one guy from that movie Papillon, where Steve McQueen goes to the leper colony at night for help and there's that shadowy scene where the head leper makes Papillon share his cigar to prove his meddle. The lepers are nice and finally take up a collection to help send him on his way.

This woman had a mulitude of bumps and scar tissue all over her face and hands, pretty much every part of her skin was covered was covered with bumps. She was accompanied by her son and they spoke a strange kind of Spanish. I felt bad for her but she seemed cheerful.
