Eric's Train Ride
After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson.
As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart. It’s Eric, I'm on the train — yes, I know it’s the 6:30 and not the 4:30, but I had a long meeting — no, honey, not with that floozy from the accounting office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life — yes, I'm sure, cross my heart ..." etc., etc.
Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly, when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by his continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice: "Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!
Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer. |
