Rail chiefs put up `no kissing' sign
 Stop smooching."Stop that this instant!" That's the message of a new sign that went up outside a train station in northern England on Monday. "Put those lips away now, dammit!" The goal is to stop departing passengers from pulling up in their cars at a crowded drop-off point and pausing to kiss each other farewell. "And no fondling, either! You, there, Miss! Let go of that! You don't know where it's been!" Virgin Rail says it installed the sign while refurbishing the station after a local business networking group said the place had to become more efficient. "Dat's right. Kissin' ain't efficient!" But profit margins may have been a factor, too. Ohoh. Cherchez le pound. Or maybe le euro. Virgin Rail says that if passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, they should pay to park their cars nearby where they can kiss all they want. "All we're askin' is for a bit of financial support here!" "How much financial support?" "How much you got?" Posted by: Fred 2009-02-17 |
