By Dan Rattiner Week of November 5-12, 2010 Riders this week: 8,755 Rider miles this week: 91,314 DOWN IN THE TUBE Larry Penny, the chief of the East Hampton Town Environmental Office, was seen traveling between Water Mill and Southampton shining a small flashlight at the walls outside the window, for what? Endangered striped tiger salamanders? He was not saying. NO ELECTIONEERING The “N o Electioneering” posters were put up all over all the platforms last Wednesday, the day after the elections to remind candidates not to make speec hes and hand out literature down there. Apparently, our new general manager, Edward Harrison III, got confused about which day was the election and so he ordered that the 100 posters to be printed reading N O ELECTION EERIN G ON THIS PLATFORM BETWEEN NOVEMBER 3 AND 10, which, as our Commissioner, Mr. Aspinall, pointed out when they arrived is the week beginning on the day after the elections were
over and continuing on until eight days afterwards. After some discussion in our corporate headquarters on P onquogue Avenue in Hampton Bays amongst the various managers there, it was decided to put them out anyway, since A.) they were extremely beautiful all red white and blue with lovely flags , bunting, elephants and mules drawn on them and B.) we didn’t w ant campaigning down there even after the election maybe since that would interfere with people getting to work and so forth and C.) the signs could serve as a precursor for next N ovember when the elections roll around again that no campaigning is allowed down there at that time and D .) we’re in a recession and we had hired all these freelance people to put the signs up. We do hope you enjoy them. CORRECTION In last week’ s newsletter, we announced that the winner of the Halloween Costume First Prize at our company Halloween P arty last Sunday afternoon w as Eileen Featherbottom, who was dressed as an obese , ugly ogre. Featherbottom wants it to be known that she was at the party but w as not in cos-
tume and the prize w as apparently given to her in error and she threw it in the trash. COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S MESSAGE I think straphangers should know that Hampton Subway simply does not tolerate incompetent behavior. Edward Harrison III, our new General Manager , who also happens to be my best friend’s cousin, was fired immediately after I learned that he had ordered and then distributed 100 expensive posters around the system ordering that no electioneering be allowed on the platforms the week AFTER the election. We set a very low bar for behavior on the Subway System, but there are limits to how low we can go . However, we did provide him with a golden parac hute, so at least that was something. We have also cancelled a printing order for more posters that Harrison had ordered reminding straphangers to remember that to return to Standard Time they should turn their clocks backward on Sunday, November 7 at 3 p.m. As I am sure you know, the day to do that is Monda y, N ovember 8 at 3 p .m. not Sunday, and it is forw ard, not backward, in any case, how in blazes is anybody supposed to know when 3 p .m. is down in the subw ay? There are no windows down there! Fortunately, our order to cancel the printing came just as the plates were being put on the presses at the print shop in Ba y Shore. It saved the Subw ay System nearly $22,456 from the subway system budget for those 100 signs. This is money we will not ha ve to pass along to you by collecting increased fares anytime soon.
