Mine, Friday night: So I get on the Amtrak train and I had paid just a very few bucks extra so I would have a guaranteed writing seat for me and my laptop.
Got to so-called bizness class and found it was still SRO. Heh. There was a young woman who had her baby in a carrier in the seat next to her. Amtrak guy tried to nicely explain that the baby didn’t have a seat. I looked at the conductor guy.
“Are there electrical outlets in the Club Car?”
Yes ma’am.
“Can I have one?”
You can have two.
So I have a choice between sitting (A) next to a new mom traveling alone, whose baby seat I have abruptly moved to the floor, and (B) a desk all to myself…with two power outlets? And all of a sudden I believe in the win-win power of Tony Robbins's teeth.
And here's Flip Wilson's train story. He makes his career on his first Tonight Show appearance by Making. Johnny. Laugh.
A friend of mine was on a train, and there was a toddler in the car that wouldn't stop whining and crying. My friend stood up and shouted, "That's fake crying!" The kid shut right the fuck up.
ReplyDeleteI think I might have seen that live. It's so familiar.
ReplyDeleteI love taking the train.

Every punchline was new at one point!
ReplyDeleteGood delivery by Wilson, but man, you're right, Carson just cracks up!
