Railroad Crossing
|
|
Sarah, her husband, and the guard. The husband stutters when he speaks and is supposed to be partly deaf. Railroad tracks may be indicated by a short ladder or two sticks. Sarah and her husband walk up to the tracks but do not cross. Sarah: "Go up and ask him when the train comes through from the North." Husband: "Huh?" Sarah: "Ask him when the train comes through from the North." Husband: "Oh." (Walks up to guard). Stutters "p-p-p-p-p please t-t-t-t tell m-m-m me when the train from the North comes through?" Guard: "At two o'clock this afternoon!" Husband: "Huh?" Guard: "At two o'clock this afternoon!" Husband "Oh." (Walks back to Sarah). "At two o'clock this afternoon." Sarah: "Ask him when the train comes through from the South." Husband: "Huh?" Continuing in the same manner as above, Sarah gets the answers to when the trains come from the South, the East and the West, namely, six o'clock this evening, two o'clock at night and six o'clock tomorrow morning, respectively. Sarah after some reflection looks at watch: "Then I believe that we may cross the tracks in perfect safety." (Proceeds to do so carefully, followed by husband.) "HUH?" See Also:Campfire Helps |
