Metro policeman on the Green Line platform last night:
“People move it on to the middle of the train. Let’s pack the car right Nats fans. You not cherry-blossomers. You people know to do this. You live here.”
And before that as the crowd began to build on the platform:
Metro cop – “Sir, you can’t stop there. Keep moving to the other end of the platform.”
Cardinals fan – “Why do I have to move?”
Metro cop – “Because I want you to.”
The Cards fan kept moving. Thus proving that even a drunk will do what he’s told if the person doing the talking has a billy club and pistol.
