Have you ever waited in line for a bus for 10 minutes and had some intimidating looking person budge ahead of you and steal a seat? Well, since a maze of velvet ropes aren't really an option at bus stops, busses should come equiped with laser guided beanbag guns on both sides of the busses door so when the bus driver stops in front of the line of people the lasers come on, and anyone who cuts the line and passes through the laser beam is shot in the groin with a bean bag.

Later on as technology progresses more discriminating technology will be added so women are not shot but sprayed with fish guts and so that Finnish people are both sprayed and shot in the groin so as not to be offensive to their culture.

       What if the 'cutters are female?
—polartomato, Jun 29 2002
   

       so? bob and me are female too, so what?
—po, Jun 29 2002
   

       Perhaps there could be a way to differentiate using cameras or something and women cutters could be sprayed with fish guts, or possibly just let off with a warning. Besides, most men end up offering their seat so women have little incentive to cut. Not that most would anyway.

       edit2: Melikes the fish guts idea, and the bones can be saved for later... or perhaps universally shoot everyone in the belly?

       so i take it you think this idea wont fair well? how could it be altered to gain mainstream acceptance?
—bobofthefuture, Jun 29 2002
   

       polar a female? yes?
—po, Jun 29 2002
   

       Umm yes, I meant no disrespect at all. Member of the species tomatis generalis.
—polartomato, Jun 29 2002
   

       stop that. hey you female tomato, stand up and be counted!
—po, Jun 29 2002
   

       You can't spell 'woman' without 'man'. Or 'wo', incidentally.

       Shall we throw some, um, tomatoes?
—polartomato, Jun 29 2002
   

       semantics sctld, tom and I are off for a girls night out and some fun.
—po, Jun 29 2002
   

       Have a sense of humour. I think you are reading this all wrong. By having the word 'man' in 'woman', it shows that women should be in equal, if not higher standing than men, hence the need for the 'wo'. Take a lesson from the Finnish. They have no classifiers for men or women. They are all the same. They are all 'it'.

       I have a sense of humor. I think Scots [edit: Brits] covered in tomatoes are wicked funny.
—polartomato, Jun 29 2002
   

       only the Scottish will claim him.
—po, Jun 29 2002
   

       Is it better now?
—bobofthefuture, Jun 30 2002
   

       Stand up straight and shave your beard, or risk your eyesight.
