One that completely blew my mind
After a difficult break-up last year, I decided to go to Amsterdam with a young lady of my acquaintance for a weekend of drugs and hopefully some dirty sex.

We booked cheap as chips tickets through easyjet, and got up in plenty of time to catch the train from Kentish Town to Luton airport. The train arrived, we got on, all seemed normal. Then before we'd even got to Cricklewood, the train slowed and stopped on the tracks. A harrassed-looking guard bumbled trough our carriage muttering something like "bugger it, the train's broken." However, after about five minutes they got the train working again and we were on our way. All well and good.

Until we got to Radlett. The guard came back through and said that everyone not planning on going to Luton (the last stop on the line, one after the airport) had to get off there. There would be another train along in half an hour to pick us up.

When I enquired why this train wouldn't be able to take us to Luton airport, he gave the most incredible excuse ever - because of the unscheduled stop earlier, if the train stopped to let passengers off at the stations along the route, it wouldn't make it to Luton on time, and they had to keep to the timetable. So in order to keep to the timetable, they simply dumped all the passengers.

Unbelievable.

I was going to post a reply
to the effect that there may be a certain logic to dumping the passengers.

But now I'm just interested in the dirty sex question.

Well?
