I Remember Hating You For Loving Me
One of the reasons I enjoy riding the Metro trains in Washington is the comedic performances you often get from the dispatchers over the public address system.
Some of their best bits include statements such as:
“Passengers on the Red Line, be advised that we are experiencing a minor delay. A train will be serving your platform shortly.” An hour later, I’m in stitches because that statement obviously is a send up of the old ‘distortion of the space-time continuum' bit.
The comedy usually then extends to the train operators, who utter such hilarities as:
“Don’t overcrowd this train, there is another train directly behind this one.”
Another hour later, I’m in stitches again because there obviously was some coordination between the dispatcher and the train operator on the space-time continuum joke.
"We thank you for your continued patience."
You're killing me!

Oh please! When was the last time your car-riding ass actually planted itself in a Metro seat? Unless they've changed the routing and now make stops right in front of Cactus Cantina.....
