London Train

"London Train"*

*A man was sitting on a London train eating a bag of fresh
shrimps, ripping off the heads and shells and then throwing
them out the window. After he had gobbled a few of them
down an older woman opposite him said, "Would you mind not
doing that? It's disgusting to watch."

"Listen, love." He replied, "It's got nothing to do with
you, I've paid my fare for this journey and I'll do what I
damn well want on this train."

He carried on ripping off the shells, throwing them out of
the window and eating the shrimps. Finally he finished the
bag and settled back for a little sleep.

The woman then started some knitting and all the man could
hear while he was trying to sleep was the incessant
clicking of her knitting needles. After a while, he sits
back up and says to the woman, "Could you stop that noise,
can't you see I'm trying to sleep?"

"It's got nothing to do with you," replies the old woman,
"I've paid my fare and I'll do what I want on this train."

At that, the man grabbed the woman's knitting and threw it
out the window. The woman immediately stood up and pulled
the train alarm cord. The man burst out laughing and said,
"Ha ha, you'll get fined £200 for that!"

To which the old woman replied, "And you'll get six years
when the police smell your fingers."
