London Underground Stations
save a metric fuckload of electricity by removing all the downwards escalators and replace them with slides instead. Hey presto, gravity does the job of transporting people downwards for free! Also, in rush hour you can run a water hose down the slide thereby speeding up the transit and easing congestion.

One drunken evening my friend slid down the lower part of the escalator handrail.
"I'll have a piece of that action" thought I, and duly followed suit.

Unable to stop, at the bottom I smacked full-force into a woman, sending her absoutely bloody flying. It was with huge gratitude that I saw her get up, storm over and slap me hard around the face, followed by a backhand.

My friend stepped in to try and apologise on my behalf and got exactly the same.

Once the initial terror of nearly committing manslaughter in public had subsided, I was able to see it was one of the singularly most funny things I've ever seen.
