Confusion on the northern line
|
| |
On a fairly empty tube two scottish teenagers were sitting, one was looking out of the window.
guy 1 "there's not much of a view from here is there"
guy 2 "probably because we're underground" (painfully sarcastic)
guy 1 "oh, right" (sounds confused) |

Extra Cold Guinness
|
| |
American tourist approaches the bar. He asks the barmaid for a Guinness. She asks whether he wants a regular Guinness or an Extra Cold Guinness.
Completely straight faced the American replies "Extra Cold Guinness? Is that, like, colder than normal?".
To say that I was agog is putting it mildly. |

Smile Please!
|

Tube pulls into station and a disembodied voice announces in a flat monotonous voice (as if he's made this announcement a hundred times before):
'Passengers are reminded that the taking of photographs is not allowed anywhere on the London underground.
Flash photography is expressly forbidden. (PAUSE)
And leaning out over the track to take a photograph of the oncoming train not only distracts the driver but is also extremely dangerous... (SIGH)' |
