Sometimes, Commuting is Funny

I'm writing this just because it is possibly one of the best things I have ever witnessed.

Tonight, I was catching my train back from London back home. The train was smaller than usual so it was quite cramped and all the seats were filled. I was sitting on a three-seat area with some youngish geezer type next to me and a well-aged woman the furtherest from myself.

After about 20 minutes on the train, the guy sitting next to me decided to sit further forward on his seat and perch on the edge. Why? Because the woman had begun to doze off and was repeatedly knocking her head on his shoulder. So obvious he was just trying to stop himself from getting annoyed.

But the absence of her human pillow didn't stop her from sleep bobbing and continued to let her head fall behind the guy. However, I noticed that the bobbing had ended and her head was now sliding behind the guy down as far as his lower back.

Now, you may think that you know where this story is going... but no.

At that point when her head was all the way down, she subconsciously realised where she was going and retracted. At the exact same, the train swerved quite violently. The effort of her pulling her head up plus the added momentum of the swerve propelled her from her seat, across the aisle, with her head landing perfectly between the legs of a sleeping businessman.

It was at this point that both the woman and businessman woke up to discover themselves in this extremely unusual position. The woman obvoiusly deeply embarrassed got out of his lap, apologised and sat back in her seat.

I don't think I have ever wanted to laugh so hard in my life. She got off about two stops later and as her feet hit the platform, about a dozen witnesses all simultaneously pissed themselves with laughter.
