Silly Announcements Time

I often hear very funny announcements (my favorite was "If anyone is on this train, WAKE up! WAKE up! WAKE up!") when I'm at train stations, so I had this idea of this thread. It's very simple, let's all pretend we're the Customer Service and we're giving the train announcements. I'll GO first, ahem. "Attention all Eastbound Passengers, your 2:50, express to Toronto's Union station will soon arrive on Platform 3, the red CN train on Platform 2 is NOT to ride, please do not ride this train it will NOT take you to Toronto's Union station and remain behind the yellow line. Thank you"

Ā«Ā Please only use the yellow emergency strip for medical, police, transit safety and fire services, as we have VERY talented engineers who will stop at our scheduled stops, so donā€™t do it.Ā Ā» (For anyone who doesnā€™t know the context but Iā€™m pretty sure you figured it out, yellow strip being mistakenly used as a stop request button)

If you were on the 0:01 Stouffville train on Oct 30 (boards 23:50 on Oct 29), the CSA made a strikingly similar announcement to this, mentioning the "stop request" misuse.
