–Pe­ter Mc­Man­nus Pub

LIRR con­duc­tor: There will be no pugilism on this train. Ad­di­tion­al­ly, tonight marks the first night of Kwan­zaa, and in the spir­it of Kwan­zaa, I ask you to not smoke on this train. This is the fi­nal warn­ing: if you are smok­ing, you will be eject­ed at the next con­ve­nient stop. Al­so, no throw­ing up is al­lowed on the train. The two places where you may throw up are in the con­ve­nient­ly-lo­cat­ed bath­rooms, or on your­selves. Again, mer­ry Kwan­zaa.
