I'll be waiting at the top of the stairs behind a long line of people to exit at Ajax station. Half the donkeys are actually lined up for Whitby (probably some for Oshawa). The self-appointed line warden will holler, just as the door is opening, "Anyone for Ajax? Anyone for Ajax? Squeeze through here!" <br /><br />Seriously. Can we can the "line wardens" and just agree collectively to proceed to the exits AT OUR OWN DAMNED STOPS and not two stops before?

Train manners are going to take a sharp drop off the sanity cliff.<br /><br />On the upside, it'll be a blast to watch all the students who "know for a fact that nobody pays to ride the train" or who "know for a fact that they never check tickets" getting busted by the GOstappo.MATTnoreply@blogger.com
