Train Ride

The following is an exchange of correspondence between a customer and the Irish Railway Company.

 

Gentlemen,

I have been riding your trains daily for the last two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.

Yours truly,

Patrick Finnegan

Dear Mr. Finnegan,

We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot.

Sincerely,

Irish Railway Company

Gentlemen,

I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are

confused in your history. If you will refer to the Bible and the Book

of Numbers Chapters 22-24, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his

ass. That…. Gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years!

Yours truly,

Patrick Finnegan.
