Re: my photo- Watch The Gap is what it said here in the United States. in England, it’s “mind the gap.”
Is this the most pressing concern of a commuter? “The gap” refers to the space between the car and the train. I’ve never seen anyone fall into the gap- I’m sure it has happened, but I’ve seen several people fall onto the tracks. And I’ve seen several people almost have their heads crushed because the were leaning over the tracks while not being aware a train was thundering toward them.
Shouldn’t the warning be “Don’t Get Hit By The Train” or “stand back! 48 people fell into the tracks last year at this station alone!” …something like that?
I may be wrong, of course, generally these things develop because the people who run the system see a need. At least that was the way it worked for a few centuries, it’s changing now, but back when Mind The Gap Was first introduced, the world was not as stupid. (People are not more stupid now, but they behave stupidly as is required by current standards and practices)
Perhaps “The Gap” is what causes the most injuries, liability claims, etc. your thoughts are welcome.
@tomshillue just finished listening to you on Jimmy's show, great job!! Looking forward to Gutfeld tonight 😀
“Why a duck?”
What do you call it?
Duck tape, Duct tape, or 100 MPH tape?
What is your favorite all time use for it?
I’ve called it all three names, 100 MPH was common military jargon in the 70’s and 80’s. My time period.
My favorite ever use?
When my son was 8 he started playing Little League football. The pads and uniforms were all too large. So in order for him to keep is pants on, we wrapped him around the top of his hip pads twice, with white Duck Tape.
His entire team had to do it…
Here is the ‘Why a duck?’ Routine from the Marx bros movie ‘Cocoanuts’;
Groucho: Well, we'll Passover that...You're a peach, boy. Now, here is a little peninsula, and, eh, here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.
Chico: Why a duck?
Groucho: I'm alright, how are you? I say, here is a little peninsula, and here is a viaduct leading over to the mainland.
Chico: Alright, why a duck?
Groucho: (pause) I'm not playing "Ask Me Another," I say that's a viaduct.
Chico: Alright! Why a duck? Why ...
