I had an arsehole transplant but the arsehole rejected me, which is why I write such rubbish

Max Continous;
I'm a PAX and certainly not King. Let me explain a little reality here...plane vs train from Newark to Washington DC.
On a plane with a 8:00am departure, I have to get up at 2:30am to drive an hour to EWR. Because close-in parking is restricted, Ihave to unpack the car and take a shuttle-bus which goes round all the car-parks and arrives at the terminal 30 minutes later.
From there I stand in line 2 hours to get a boarding pass. After that I get to security where I wait another hour (with good reason mind-you) and in another hour I get on the plane. Flight time from EWR to DCA is 1:30 minutes although you actually only fly for close to 40 minutes. Total time from rising to arriving is 7 hours.
Conversely, I could get up at 6:00am, drive to Penn Station in Newark, buy a ticket for the 8:00am train and arrive in DCA by 11:30am. Total time is 5 1/2 hours.
Not much of a contest really..
