A large two engined train was crossing America. After they
had gone some distance one of the engines broke down. "No problem," the
engineer thought, and carried on at half power.
Farther on down the line, the other engine broke down, and the train came to a
standstill.
The engineer decided he should inform the passengers about why the train had
stopped, and made the following announcement:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad
news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time.
The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly."
The next one is as follows:
One day a man took the train from Paris to Frankfurt. When he got in he said to
the ticket man:
"Sir. I really need you to do me a favor, I have to get down this train in
Mannheim, but I'm very tired and it is for sure
that I will fall asleep. So what I want you to do is that you wake me up in
Mannheim because I have to close a business there
and it is very important for me. Here you have 100 francs for the favor. But I
warn you sometimes when people wake me up I get really violent, but no matters
what I do or say you got to get me out of this train in Mannheim. Is that
clear?"
So the ticket man agreed and took the 100 francs. Later as the man had said he
fall asleep, and when he woke up he realized
that he was in Frankfurt. He was so mad at the ticket man that he ran over and
started yelling at the ticket man.
"Are you stupid or something??? I paid you 100 francs so that you wake me
up in Mannheim. And you didn't, so I want my money back!"
While the man was yelling at the ticket guy, two other guys that were also in
the train were looking at them, so one turns to the
other and says to him:
Man 1: "Look at this guy! He is mad!"
Man 2: "Yeah! He's almost as mad as the guy they made get out of the train
in Mannheim."
