Enraged gunmen can be so inconsiderate

his afternoon some genius decided to blow off a little steam in the building housing my train station. So the building is locked down with all in- and out-going trains cancelled.

So the guy couldn’t have picked another building - or some time other than Friday rush hour to shed some blood?

Shouldn’t the cops be able to let us sign a waiver or something to brave the hail of bullets?

Man, I was just getting ready to get outta here!

Hey, if it’s any consolation, I just got back from the gym. . .

I started at 4:PM, and at 4:16 or so, was told to evacuate from the building. I get outside and immediately start feeling the chill. Then they order us away from the building because there’s a “suspicious package” near the building.

My keys, my cellphone, my ID are all in my gym bag in my locker. I ain’t going anywhere except nowhere in the cold.

So five minutes later, the base Security Forces and the Fire Department show up lights a’lighting, sirens a’sirenen, lookin’ all of Barney Fife saddled backwards on a mule. They get the lady that made the original call into the cops. She tells them where it’s at what it looks like. . . yadda yadda, then they let her go but tell her to stay close. The Fire Chief in his little Chevy Blazer drives over to take a look. He comes back. He talks to her again. Another ten minutes go by. Everyone’s still talking: cops, fire chief, and witness.

A few more minutes later, the fire chief picks up the lady in his Blazer, and apparently drives her over there to find this ‘thing’. The scream off. Not one minute later he comes back, and stops in front of the cops. She gets out of the Blazer and daintily runs towards her own car in a parking lot. I overhear the fire chief tell the cops, “Eh, you can let 'em back in the building.” :mad:

So, I have to ruin a perfectly good workout and stand out in the cold for 30 minutes just because some dumb, blonde bimbo thinks an electrical transformer is a “suspicious package”. :rolleyes:
