Huckleberries Online

You think you have a rough commute?

"Boxers and wrestlers are being recruited by an Indian train company to intimidate thousands of ticketless travellers into paying up or getting off." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/6538362/Indian-trains-recruit-boxers-and-wrestlers-in-fight-against-ticketless-passengers.html

I love this final paragraph: "A spokesman for the Northern Railways denied the boxers and wrestlers were being deployed to intimidate passengers. "The boxers and wrestlers are Railway employees and are expected to function like any other ticker-checkers. There is absolutely no intimidation involved," he said."

What's the most miserable commute you've had to endure?
