Re: The phantom bottom pincher strikes again.

I was once on a Northern Line train in London that had been held
up for an hour after a suicide jump on the tracks. As a result
it was jampacked with two or three trainfuls of passengers. It
came to a stop in a station with a lot of shouting from another
carriage and didn't move for another half-hour. It turned out
that a woman had pulled the emergency cord because she thought
somebody had groped her bum. She didn't get a lot of sympathy
from anybody else on the train.
