I noticed an intriguing pamphlet sticking out of a document holder on the pole near the door. It said in big letters "DID YOU KNOW?"
I let go of the pole with my hand and started to pull it out, trying to get a look at the words underneath.
Suddenly the tram lurched forwards, causing me to fall backwards and hit the glass divider behind me.
The tram stopped again and I gathered myself together. I looked at the pamphlet in my hand.
What was so important and intriguing, I wondered, that the action of reading it had caused me to let go of the pole and fall over?
I held on to the pole firmly and read:
DID YOU KNOW?
...more people hurt themselves on trams than on a trapeze? But why?
...the answer is pretty simple - trapeze artists hold on.
...we care for your safety so
PLEASE HOLD ON WHILE STANDING
and stay safe on the tram.
Are they for real? Were they trying to be ironic or are they just safety awareness idiots?
ReplyDeletewell what an incredible pamphlet. :)
ReplyDeletekristarella - they were dead serious. I can't make this stuff up!
ReplyDeletecar buying advice - I know. I will keep it always to remind me to hold on to something when travelling on trams.
That's good advice. Did the pamphlet come with emergency hotlines?
