A man traveling on a train asks the ticket collector what time
the train stops at Victoria.
"This train doesn't stop at Victoria, its the express."
"You are joking! - I NEED to get off at Victoria!"
"Sorry sir, this train will not stop at Victoria."
"There must be something you can do."
"Well there is one thing..."
"What? anything, I need to get off!"
"Well, I'll get the driver to slow down and I'll dangle
you out the door and lower you onto the platform"
"My goodness!" said the man, "Will that work?"
"Its worth a try," replied the ticket collector.
The train approaches the platform at 50 mph. The ticket collector
hangs the man in mid air out the door. The man starts running
in mid air! "Run faster! Run faster!" The ticket
collector shouts as he lowers the man down.
The man's feet touch the platform, and smoke flies off his
shoes. One of his heels comes off; he is running for his life!
Suddenly, the ticket collector lets go, and the man is running
at 30 mph. He has made it, he begins to slow down. He's still
running at 20mph along side the train as the other passengers
watch in amazement.
As the last carriage goes by another hand grabs the man by
the shirt collar and lifts him back onto the train. As he's
being pulled into the carriage he hears a voice say, "Your
lucky I was here to help you on, this train doesn't even stop
at Victoria!!!!"
