So don't try it in America. Fortunately in Moscow Communism didn't allow much crime and it's still fairly safe.

Just popping in here as a representative for "DEPUTY". He is an Oregon police officer who sees people have no heart every day, so he takes this offensively. As a police officer in New York City, i wouldn't take this as a joke either, but I would find it amusing!

Most New Yorkers would find this offensive and be upset that someone was playing with the intercom. But when they see the food arrive, they would stare and start laughing and have a bewildered look on their face.

So lighten up on the Deputy he see too much crap each day and this stuff wouldn't be funny to him.

This is the stupidest arguement ever.

Noone is going to shoot you because you DIDN'T use the intercom system.

Yes, you may be right in saying that 99% don't want to play along, but thats a long way from commiting murder. 

If people were really this agitated, then we'd have WW3 right on America's highways. Aside from a few extreme instances, its pretty safe to drive on America's highways and exspect NOT to get shot. Emotions do rage on the highways and people do get angry over dumb things, but your average joe is not going to shoot you for it.

This is a joke, its posted in the joke section (big hint). Its meant to be funny. You don't find it funny. Sorry about that, but just move on to the next thread then.

Skippy, chill out man! Everyone understands where you are coming from, where this joke is coming from. To be frank..you are going to have people in societly that make fun of other people even if it makes them look like the idiots they are. Hell like I said I would find it amusing especially after a very stressfull day at the office.

We don't have a subway, per se, however, we do have a train called MAX. MAX stands for Metropolitan Area Express.


Edit - Learn about MAX

I would like to echo that comment. I've travelled to many places in this world over the years & will talk to anyone who will listen. This includes down & outs, homeless people nobody else would bother with & black kids hanging around on a street corner in NYC.* I might have been lucky but I find most strangers I've talked to extremely friendly & only too willing to help. Treat them with suspicion & they will be suspicious of you.

On the subject of the April Fools joke; after giving it some thought I suspect that if you did it on the London Tube other passengers would either ignore you or smile & appreciate the joke. Most people in this country have a sense of humour. That would be the locals as London is usually full of tourists & I can't speak for them.

One thing that does annoy people & sometimes leads to positive action is the persistent & selfish use of mobile phones when you can't help listening to senseless one-ended conversations. These are usually so loud that they can be heard even at the other end of the compartment. I've heard about more than one instance when after refusing to switch the darned thing off when asked politely the offender's phone has been thrown out of the train window with the full approval of the other passengers. Having been forced to put up with this non-stop drivel throughout the journey nobody in the compartment would admit to having witnessed the evil deed.

PS. I felt safer on the streets of Manhattan after dark than in my home town. This is no doubt due to Mav & his colleagues in the NYPD who have my deepest respect.
