Going the e-mail rounds. :lol: :lol:
The following is purported to be an exchange of correspondence between a customer and the Irish Railway Company (Iarnród Éireann).
Gentlemen,
I have been riding your trains daily for the last two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the t***sportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.
Yours truly,
Patrick Finnegan

Dear Mr. Finnegan,
We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of t***sportation 2,000 years ago was by foot.
Sincerely,
Irish Railway Company
-----------------------------------
Gentlemen,
I am in receipt of your letter, and indeed I think you are the ones who are confused in your history.
If you will refer to the Bible and the Book of David, 9th Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ass.
That... Gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years!
Yours feckin' truly,
Patrick Finnegan.

Oh couldn't we say that about our mode of public t***sportation, with one change..."Riding on it has to make you ass for choosing it"......I'm thinking Airlines right now, can you tell??? :wink:
You buy a reservation, then buy a seat?? Really, if I didn't buy the seat am I flying on the wing or something?? You pay for your luggage too..I guess they expect passenger to just be naked when they get to their destination...You can purchase cardboard food if hungry or you an starve or pay more for First class to get that same cardboard food anyway...You can spend $5 for a drop of wine or add another 1
$10 when you get off and buy a bottle..Your subjected to pat downs, feel ups, taking off half you clothes and then told you need to take things off the conveyor now while your trying to put everything back on you just had to take off for them....
Security, your phone is a known explosive device, Thank You Mr. Pilot for telling everyone..Your suppose to turn it off when you board..Honor system it is..And if your a terrorist, you have an opportunity to just leave it on and when ready, click and poof~~~
