Bodhi all you had to do was ask how i came to my conclusion instead of sighting all those hypotheticals......which makes me to understand that you already believe that some how i wronged those upstanding young men.

It makes me not really want to answer your question....but here goes. And for your information, I won't reply to anything here after regarding this.


They said it themselves, out of their honest and truthful mouths. One went so far to relate how a week or two ago...he brought a ticket but had no intention of stamping it.......and a few stops later ...the fare inspectors boarded...he quickly ran out and stamped it. He went on and boasted how, "I ain't getting no ticket" over and over again.

My previous encounters with these boy scouts were the same. Although one of them did pick up an old ticket and stamped it many times hoping it would some how come back to life. See?! Never give up!

Bodhi isn't it funny how you didn't ask me how i knew they were football players? Did i make them do drills? Did i pull out a piece of paper and draw X's and O's and ask them what the pretty pictures meant?

I'll give you one more example. The other day 7 or 8 girls from Ferris were standing next to me on the platform having earlier emerged from Newport. They were screaming and harping and being as you surely would put it being "musical". One of them was hollering "Y all better get your tickets". At this point the train was 2 minutes away. Since the time of their emergence not one had bought a ticket at the machine nor stamped one. The leader of this angelic pack...warbled deafeningly, "I ain't buyin not tickets as she rudely jumped in front of me as the train pulled in and ran inside followed by the courteous herd" Could some of them had a pass? Sure. But that reality was quickly shattered....when they nervously looked about as we pulled into each station.......and some crowed that they were not getting no fine. Just to let u know how wonderful these angels were they took up the back of the car......and every time new passengers came they quickly retreated to another part of the train even though their were seats. Why? Because surely the notes coming from the mouths of these babes.........would make a cold heart break out in tears. Bless their kind hearts.


Oh i almost forgot. The leader of this band as the train was about to pull in had jumped down on the track and waited 5 or 6 seconds before jumping back up.....making the train driver screech his horn loudly as he was given the light to proceed into the station.

I wonder if St Anthony High School helps teach their kids basic manners.

Several times coming from work i have been met with loud, rude st. Anthony Football players on the light rail. And of course none of them paid for their tickets.

The only school kids worse are kids from METS Charter school...followed by Ferris and close behind Lincoln.
