I Hate DeCamp

Driver Humor

Overheard last night on the 9:30 66 departing Port Authority, as the bus entered the tunnel:

Passenger: Excuse me, did you close the luggage compartment before we left?
Driver: I didn't. Did you?
Passenger: Oh my god! My bags! My bags!
Driver: No, I did.

Who's Next? A Circus Geek?

So Trump Casinos has replaced its Ivanka Trump ad on this billboard at the helix with a scary-stupid ad for Dane Cook, significantly upping the heinousness quotient of the space.

Has CBS, which owns the sign, reserved it for only the most charmless and meretricious celebrity hacks?

Is this discrimination -- against the talented?

The DeCampification of Air Travel

This is how bad it's gotten: Chinese carrier Spring Airlines will be selling standing-room tickets.

So Let's Celebrate With Some Stock Photography, Bad Art Direction, and Painfully Obvious Wordplay!

More horrible bus advertising, this time on the ceiling of the 66 I rode in this morning.

Problem Solving, DeCamp Style

66 PASSENGER: Turn on the reading lights, please?
DRIVER: They're on.
PASSENGER: Um, there are about 10 rows back here with no lights on.
DRIVER: If you don't see 'em on, they must not be working.
PASSENGER: Can you check the switches or something?
DRIVER: There's one switch that controls them all. It's on.
PASSENGER: Can you please just try?
DRIVER: (Verbally shrugging shoulders) OK, you got it.
[Driver flips switch. Reading lights in back go on.]
PASSENGER: There! That worked! They're on.
DRIVER: Well, that was just a test....
PASSENGER: Wait, what...?
[Driver flips switch again. Reading lights in back go dark.]
PASSENGER: ...
DRIVER: ...
PASSENGER: Uh, can you just turn on the big overhead light?
DRIVER: Sure.
[Turns on overhead light.]
