with rabbit locked himself in restroom when confronted about animal. Local police removed

You just can't make this kind of thing up....

I wonder: how did he plan to get out with the rabbit? except for the door every opening is too small--and does not go directly to the outside.

Maybe a disgruntled long distance train passenger?

Laugh

Surely he was not taking the rabbit home for supper?

Perhaps it was "Harvey."

Ah, but the times they have a changed.  It could be the conductor telling her husband and kids the story. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

I know!  Traditionally it is proper to use the masculine pronoun when gender is unknown.  But proper ain't proper anymore.  You have to be politically correct!

A woman was taken off a Southwest Airlines flight for singing. The plane made an "emergency" stop in Kansas City. They took her to "casa-de-looney". The same officer told me about a guy who took his pants off on a Southwest Flight. When asked why he took off his pants in front of all the passengers, He proclaimed "There wasn't enough room in the bathroom!"

Of course not!  The rabbit was in there.
