QOTW
I don't think that this is a suggestion but it was both funny and recent and I want to share it with you good people.
I was travelling from London to York on the 2000 train yesterday in a fairly busy carriage when the dulcet tones of a young Welsh woman called Kerry began to rise above the normal chatter in the carriage. It became apparent that not only was she utterly witless but that she was trying to organise a conference call between her boss (a chap named Michael), who was also clearly witless and several other parties, at least two of whom Michael didn't know (but she reassured him that he was not to worry-bless). Anyway, after about ten minutes of repeatedly reading out the dial in number and password and giving the details of the people who would be joining him she hung up only to be rung back by the witless Michael who couldn't manage to dial the frigging number so the whole process began again.
At about this point I noticed the two faceless suits sitting on the next table were pissing themselves laughing and lo the reason was apparent as they, the underhand dogs, had rung the concall from their mobiles and were awaiting Michael's joining them!
Michael did so and they introduced themselves as the two people that poor Michael didn't know and the concall got underway with the fair Kerry blissfully unaware, due to the miracle that is iPod, that her clueless boss was being taken to task by her co-passengers. Needless to say their mirth overtook them and they fessed up with the expression that they represented Coach C on the London to Newcastle train and would he ring Kerry and tell her to shut the fuck up!
Cue- bring bring "Hello, yes, what!" Kerry leaps top her feet and shouts "who has been on my conference call heh, which one of you heh?" and bursting into tears.
She changed carriages at Peterborough!
