hello slowcrowjoe - what is this "the tube" of which you speak?
Noodley

It's the post modern equivalent of sef flagellation. As many people as possible cram themselves into a tubular metal box - hence the name 'tube'. This is them propelled underground where it stops for an indeterminate length of time to allow the temperature to rise. At this point it's quite similar to a sauna but without the the birch twigs. From time to time announcements such as "crackle crackle, due a termite infestation in the Upminster area* this train will be held here". After a while it's then dragged back into daylight and the supplicants are allowed to leave their pennace done for the day.


Hope this helps.

*Unless the tube is actually planning to go to Upminster in which case they say Surbiton
