Tube Racing
Now, I used to work in a brewery as a student, and in this brewery were a hard core of idiots, the kind that life just seems to through in for others amusement, and me and the rest of the student workforce would take immense pleasure in winding up the full timers, especially those that crawled out of the gene paddling pool with six fingers and below simian intelligence.
There was one particular chap, believed in WWE and had to be shown where the sun went at night with the aid of two apples, who was slightly dimmer than most. One day he was relaying stories of his youth, and soon we were all slack jawed in amazement at one of the least responsible lies I had ever heard. Apparently, as a child at school, when taken to London his teacher would "tube race" the students. Basically this would involve the teacher getting on the first tube train to come along and his pupils would get on the next to see if they could beat him to their destination. This was on the circle line. This man was in charge of people we are no longer allowed to call retards, and he'd abandon them in the middle of London for a bit of peace and quiet.
The best thing was that the man, to his day, still thinks he could have beaten the teacher to their stop.

Length; not the first time I've had to apologise.
