Dearest Apologies

Riding the train yesterday morning I began to take pity on the train operator. Specifically I was thinking about how many times they must apologize to the passengers on the train on a daily basis. The worst thing is that it really isn't the operator's fault that the train gets delayed. There are so many potential problems with mass transit that operator error is probably a rare occurrence. And then have to apologize to a train-load of people several times a day must get really annoying. But I guess one of the good things about being a train operator is if you don't feel like apologizing to the passengers then you can just press a button and a recording does it for you. But when a recording tells you it's sorry it's a little hard to believe. So on behalf of all of mankind, I say, 'We forgive you Mr. Train Operator, and we will patiently wait to move shortly."
