Train Ride To Town
Gentlemen:
I have been riding 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 15-mile trip. I think the transportation system is worse than
that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.
Yours truly, A Commuter
Dear Sir:
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, The Railroad
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, Book of David, 9th Chapter, 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, A Commuter
