OK, daft but true story for you.
On British trains you have what is called the "quiet carriage". This is basically a carriage where you are not allowed to use a mobile phone. However the carriage is normally quite loud with conversations etc...
A while back i was commuting to university in Coventry and had to amke a 3 hour journey twice a week so i would always sit in the quiet carriage. Well, this paticular friday night it was half term so the train was full of kids who had been off for the day and stuff and the carriage was very noisy.
A woman sat at the table opposite me said "You know, they should make everyone learn Braile before they get on the quiet carriage so there would be less noise"
After thinking about this for a few minutes, the chap next to her suddenly twigged that she meant people should learn Sign language. He pointed this out to her and she thought then replied "but what if you were talking to a blind person. You would need to talk in braille to them!"
Yes, the woman was blonde and yes, it was an interesting thee hours listening to her random comments on how to improve things!
