New York subway’s ‘A’ Train conductor was brim-full of Christmas spirit. “YOU ….. are ridin’ the ‘A’ train, the oldest rail cars on the system, and ah’m goin’ to make your journey festive – Hey! Would the schmuck riding his bike into the train get off. You’ll get jammed in the door – by singin’ my very favourite carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas. ‘Cept, I can only remember the first eight verses. After the maids a milkin’ I kinda lose interest.”
