Throw Momma From the Train

Only I would have done it a HELLUVA lot sooner.

In an epic incident of the pot calling the kettle rude, a Tigard, Oregon woman said she felt “disrespected” after police escorted her from an Amtrak train mostly because she refused to get off her cellphone — for 16 hours.

And she was in a “quiet” car, meant specifically to be cell-phone chitter-chatter free.

I woulda had her ass bouncing down the aisle toward the hatch all on my own in about two shakes, with her cell phone stuffed down her throat.

But I’m cranky that way.

   She could have used a facefull of mace as an attitude adjuster.

   This sort of person is why God gave us tasers.

   And fists, JeffS.

   I wouldn’t have stuffed the cellphone down her throat. I’d have just grabbed it and stomped it – and stuffed the pieces up… well.

   Or, if I were in a more subtle mood, I’d SING politically incorrect Country-western full blast. I can empty a full auditorium in less than 5 minutes with my off-tune singing. I doubt a train would take more than 1 minute. If that. 😀

   Unfortunately, there’d be collateral damage there. But I’d warn them ahead of time, and maybe they’d dare return after she’d left…
