Trains
The following is an exchange of correspondence between a customer and
a certain Train Operating Company ...
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 14-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,
Larnrod Eireann

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
