A few days after Christmas, a mother was working in thekitchen listening to her young son playing with his newelectric train in the living room.She heard the train stop and her son said, "All of you sonsof b*tches who want off, get the hell off now, cause this isthe last stop! And all of you sons of b*tches who are gettingon, get your asses in the train, cause we're going down thetracks." The mother went nuts and told her son, "We don't use thatkind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to yourroom and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When youcome out, you may play with your train, but I wantyou touse nice language." Two hours later, the son comes out of the bedroom andresumes playing with his train. Soon the train stopped andthe mother heard her son say, "All passengers who aredisembarking from the train, please remember to take all ofyour belongings with you. We thank you for riding with ustoday and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope youwill ride with us again soon." She hears the little boycontinue, "For those of you just boarding, we ask you tostow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember,there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have apleasant and relaxing journey with us today." As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those ofyou who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, pleasesee the b*tch in the kitchen.”
