An Amusing (and alliteratively announced) Anecdote

[deird_lj]

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."
