Idea: Write PandaStatus.com on the seat of the train for some publicity.


WHAT DID HAPPEN:

I had an hour and twenty minutes to build up the courage to scribe PandaStatus.com on the train seat in front of me. Guess who "weighed the consequences" and didn't write anything?

WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN:

Train Conductor: Hey! What do you think you're doing?
Me: Ummm...nothing?
TC: Last time I checked defacing property of the Long Island Railroad is doing something.
Me: I wasn't defacing LIRR property--I would never do such a thing--I was just writing my name on the back of this seat.
TC: Yeah, that definitely counts as defacing property. What kind of name is PandaStatus.com anyway?
Me: It's actually a little comedy website I'm working on, just trying some guerrilla marketing.
TC: What on God's green earth is guerrilla marketing?
Me: Honestly, I'm not really sure, I thought I would impress you with a marketing term I learned in class last semester.
TC: A college boy eh? I guess they forgot to teach you how to respect property.
ME: Yeah, maybe I should ask for my money back...am I right?
TC: That's cute, I didn't know I had a comedian on my hands.
ME: Is that sarcasm?
TC: ...Ye---
[TRAIN BLOWS UP]

LESSON: Don't vandalize!
