Taking the Train
A large two-engine train was crossing the country. After they had gone some
distance, one of the engines broke down.
"No problem," the engineer thought and carried on at half power. Farther on
down the line, the other engine broke down and the train came to a
standstill.
The engineer decided he should inform the passengers about why the train had
stopped, and made the following announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have
some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have
failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you
decided to take the train and not fly."
