All Available Doors
* I was on the tube a couple of days ago, when a voice came over the PA and said, "This train is quite crowded. When exiting, please use all available doors."
I know how to use one door or another to get off the train, but I froze in puzzlement as to how I could use "all available doors" to get off. It was six stops past mine before I just punted and used the one nearest to me.
* And I was looking forward to having tons of yummy English muffins when I got over here, but I haven't seen one! Have the English sold all of theirs to the states?

Gene: Try looking for crumpets/scones['scon' not 'scohn']/baps/pikelets. 'English muffins' are really American.

I bet sitting "in" the tube next time will
be more comfortable.
Yes, I knew English muffins were American: It was a joke.
But I guess not a good one.
Anonymous: Try writing "with" sarcasm next time -- it will be funnier than "near" sarcasm.
