Games to Play on Transit #8

[mbarrick]

Try to make sense of the announcement on the SkyTrain when only every third word is intelligible on the crappy speakers.

"Zzzt! ...attention... Zzzzt ... *cracle* ...delays... *crackle* ... Zzzz! ...problem... Chzchzchz ...thank you for your patientence."

yeh very rarely are they intelligible...if you are in the train it's on the platform...and if you are on the platform the announcement is in the train...i also like how they never give an estimate of time...you just sit there...i have had to exit the train outside of the station only once...westbound coming into main street by the bus station...they had paramedics working on some guy in the train at main street station so no one was going anywhere for a while...luckily we got out and could catch a bus...

In those situations Z and I have a code: One of us will start off with
“Derker darker” and the other will reply with “Muck-a-lucka-duck”

EVERYTIME that announcement comes on, I take my headphones off.
And then that leaves me wondering why I bothered.
