Last night I heard "Yo! Da big man wants the cleaner on platform two,
now like."

Shrug It made a change and raised a smile.

I spent some time in the states and there was a bus driver that used to
announce weather reports and stock market info..There was a scrolling
information board downtown and he would just read all the info to the
passengers with his own little imbelishments.

"Good morning ladies and gentleman, and welcome to downtown san francisco on
this georgous morning. You will be pleased to hear that it we are expecting
good weather all day, and the Dow Jones index is looking good etc "

I used to think it was hilarious!
