On the Train with HHimbos

 
Train imagery is all the rage these days, it's hardly surprising when so many of us spend hours a week gazing at our fellow travellers in confined spaces that impose an unusual level of closeness. It's a sensitive environment and people who offend against the rules, like not smoking, may provoke a response. 
 
The fashion for tighter trousers has restored this garment to the top ten of homoerotic iconography. Normally, the subject of office torments by their seniors, this more democratic sanctioning for wearers is refreshing.  
 

Smoking is a cut and dried legal offence, but there's a long list of rules of unspoken etiquette that can ruffle feathers and in extreme cases, provoke a response - in imaginations if not reality. It's not clear what this workman has done, perhaps he brought smelly food on board. Older travellers are less likely to be tolerant of such modern practices - and this one has already had a bad day at the office. 

*Have you noticed how burgers on trains stink like they've just been retrieved from a garbage bin? Yes, I am an older traveller!

 

This young man has had the misfortune of joining a company that insists on their office trainees wearing short trousers (make-men-wear-shorts syndrome). This exposes him to a good deal of inappropriate contacts as he makes his rounds, carrying documents from one department to another. So it's understandable that he wants to grab a seat on the train home so no-one can get at him. Unfortunately, tonight there was only one seat left, the one reserved for older and disabled people. 

He did his best to ignore all the new travellers as the train filled up, but unfortunately, his short pants made him the least likely person on the train to get away with it. Particularly, when a retired military officer with a war wound got on. Not only was he hot on obedience and discipline, his war wound didn't seem to impair him at all when he was seated.
 

It would be easy to label HHimbos as a spanking artist, but there's more to his work than that.....

More Tomorrow
