October 31, 2003 Commuter Gets Arm Stuck in Train Toilet By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 11:33 a.m. ET NEW YORK (AP) -- A man riding a Metro-North train dropped his cell phone in a toilet and got his arm stuck trying to retrieve it Thursday, forcing the train to stop and delaying the evening commute for thousands of people. Edwin Gallart, 41, of the Bronx, was stuck with his arm in the toilet for 90 minutes, The Advocate of Stamford reported in Friday's editions. The incident happened on the 6:19 p.m. train from Grand Central Terminal. Crew members were alerted to the problem at about 59th Street, a few blocks north of Grand Central. ``When this moron's arm went down the crapper, so did our evening commute,'' Metro-North spokesman Dan Brucker said. .... more at article....... -------------------- "You can't expect rich people to do much, because they're just holding onto their money, and you really can't expect poor people to do much, because they're struggling like hell to make do.

QUOTE (amtrakmichigan @ Fri, Oct 31, 2003, 11:11 PM) Or better yet, sues for injuries because a sign wasn't posted warning him that it could be harmfull to himself to put his hand in this toilet. You're probably right, he will go and sue MN. Unfortunately Metro North can't put up signs saying "Morons shouldn't use this bathroom", as they would get sued for insulting people. So there is simply no way to protect one's business from the idiots. -------------------- Alan,
Take care and take trains! |
