No one has ever looked at the bloated infrastructure of the MTA and claimed that it was "too well managed". As if to prove everyone’s point, the MTA has inked a $40,500 contract with a verbal judo instructor. Yes, that’s right. A verbal, judo instructor who teaches verbal judo. George Thompson, the new verbal judo instructor also known as "Rhino" will be teaching MTA officers "martial arts of the mind and the mouth."
In other words, a "Woosha!"
That’s what cops are taught to exclaim after sweet-talking a vexing or volatile civilian.
Unfortunately, I don’t think any lawyers are going to be the beneficiaries of the "Woosha!" chant. Rhino has a special place in his heart for attorneys.
Take the one that casts lawyers as the enemy: "He’s that three-piece, shark-skinned, tassel-shoed, alligator-belted, four-eyed, Gray Poupon sucking S.O.B."
Listen, I don’t want to tell the MTA how to spend their money, but I would have taught them to say "Woosha!" or something similar for a couple hundred bucks and a 30 day metrocard. I guess they have to find a way to get rid of their new found surplus in order to have a reason to raise the fares again.
