Abie, the somewhat shy and retiring gentleman who lives a bit southwest, sent
this one about people using cell phone in public places. He also added that this
might be good to try when someone is being rude and disturbing you.

After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her
eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson.

As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out
his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart. It's Eric,
I'm on the train - yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty but
I had a long meeting - no, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts
office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life - yes,
I'm sure, cross my heart etc., etc."

Fifteen minutes later at St. Anne de Bellevue he was still talking loudly,
when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by
his continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice:"Hey, Eric! Turn that
stupid phone off and come back to bed!"

My guess would be that Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer.
