I was on a tram this afternoon.
(A Note For The Inexperienced: Trams are about twice the length of buses, and the driver has a loudspeaker thingy for communicating with all the passenger over the sound system.)
And there was a baby in a pram, crying.
(A Note For The Differently-Inexperienced: Babies cry when they're upset. Usually loudly.)
This got annoying, after a while.
(Another note: Crying is not a fun thing to listen to.)
Finally, the driver picked up his loudspeaker thingy.
(A Reminder: I mentioned it earlier, see? Further up the page.)
And we got this announcement:
(One Final Note: This is the amusing part.)
"Err, no crying on this tram, please. Strictly no crying. Thank you."
