Purgatory With Pantagraphs

From the depths of commuter hell, comes Purgatory with Pentagraphs. These are the continuing stories of the brave souls who commute daily to Chicago on the South Shore electric train, and the muggles who are unfortunate enough to meet them.

Conducting regular business

One of the central players in the tragic comedy that is the South Shore commute, is of course the conductors. They are the people who take your tickets, and are responsible for the safety and well-being of their passengers. As you settle in as a regular commuter, you might become lucky/unlucky enough to come to know one of these poor unfortunate souls. Our regular 4:01 conductor, we'll call him "Tim" to protect his identity is creeping up on his 57th birthday tomorrow. Now if you aren't familiar with the PWP crew, any excuse to drink is a valid one in our eyes, and we should probably be doing so in the near future to celebrate this day. Well anyways, our Happy Birthday wishes go out to the old man... err conductor.

My objective for the day, since there hasn't been too much audience participation lately (for shame) is have people talk about their favorite and more hated conductors and conductor stories.
