Most of you have no idea what this is about, probably never experienced a train ride with one of these idiots. Here's one girl who took matters in to her own hands.
I applaud her too, because no matter how many times I've tried, I've lost.

Screw that, my voice would turn the entire train against me! ;)
I just use the headphones most of the time. Once I told one preacher that I heard from God the other, adjacent car has more sinners, and that worked.

When they show up at the door, I usually tell them I'm not through sinnin' yet, and please excuse me, I'm late for the orgy. Works especially well on the women. :cool:

An interesting story for a variety of reasons.
I am glad in the years of riding the tube in London I never experienced a single negative act of anykind let alone of the kind described by the author of the article linked.

That is so true. Most of the panhandlers and whathaveyou were always located in the tunnels between stations. But I can't remember a single negative experience riding on the tube itself.

These are NOT panhandlers, they are not seeking money (although, Lord knows there are PLENTY of those on the subways). These are real, genuine, bona fide sick people.

I'd suggest hitting them in the head with your belt buckle :)

I just tell 'em I worship Thor, and if they don't back off, he'll strike 'em dead with his Urah mallet.
