What a great story! Things like that can make your day, can't they? There's a subway driver in Toronto who often makes announcements of that kind as he comes up to each stop in the morning when people are rushing to work. When he gets to one of the busier stops, where a lot of people get off or change trains to go downtown, he'll say, "St George - St George station. I want to thank all you lovely people for riding the rocket and, on behalf of the TTC, let me wish you a wonderful day." ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
