On the DC metro, the announcements sound like they're given by a drunk mumbling person underwater somewhere far away.  They're completely unintelligible.  I feel sorry for the tourists and out of town visitors.

Both Morgan Freeman and George Burns have played God in movies.
I'd find George Burns announcing bus departures would be a lot more fun.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Except when they are telling you there is a two hour delay. You can hear that a lot.

I think R. Lee Ermey would've been better. "You're damned bus is leaving in 5 min. maggot! BE ON IT!"!  :clap:
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

The key to surviving this site is to not say something which ends up as someone's tag line - Steelgrave

"their citizens (all of them counted as such) glorified their mythology of 'rights'...and lost track of their duties. No nation, so constituted, can endure." Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers

Yup.  Already canned the deal.  (wonder how much more that's going to cost us in gas taxes.  We're already at $1.619/L here today).  That mouth-breathing idiot, Seth Rogan said he wants the gig.

You don't want Bob the Blob telling you that Platform 5 is now boarding?
