Actual conversation from actual rider

You are blonde and on a bus, when you suddenly fart. Luckily the music is very loud.

So every time you fart, you time it with the music.

When you start making your way to the door as you exit the bus Everybody is throwing dagger looks at you, and you suddenly
realize. ............

You're listening to your IPod !

Chatty Metro Engineer

Here's to you chatty metro engineer. You forced me to jack up my iPod almost all the way so I could listen to your cheerful droning of the rules and regs of Metro. We all know stand right, walk left on the escalator (except for tourists). We all know let everyone exit before you board. We all know use all of the doors. Was it necessary to fill all of the time, except 10-15 seconds of blissful silence, between stops with your reminders? Finally by National Airport, you ran out of gas and were only saying "Doors on the right." Next time, keep it down. I might have a conference call on the ride home.

Clever ad

I saw an ad at Metro Center earlier this week that I found very clever. There are three different versions consisting of a mermaid, big foot, and unicorn all holding a piece of coal. No words on the ad. Just the picture of the mythical being holding the coal. Great ad campaign. Props for running it metro.
