Aman traveling by train asks the conductor what time the train stops at
Victoria. “Sir, we don’t stop at Victoria,” the conductor said. “But I
must
get off
there!” he insisted.
“Well, I might be able to get the engineer to slow down the train a little. Then I
can dangle you out the door and lower you onto the platform.”
“Will that work?”
“It’s worth a try.”
As they approached the platform, the train slows from 50MPH. The conductor
hangs the man in mid-air out the door. The man starts running in mid-air. “Run
faster! Faster!” He lowers the man and the man's feet touch the platform. His
shoes start to smoke! His heel comes off! He’s running at 30MPH. He made it!
The other passengers stare in amazement. As the last car goes by, a hand grabs
the man by the shirt collar and lifts him right back onto the train!
As he’s helped back on the train, the gent who picked him up says, “Man
you’re lucky I was here to help! This train doesn’t even STOP in Victoria!”
