A man traveling by train asks the ticket collector what time the train stops at Victoria.
โSir, we donโt stop at Victoria.โ
โBut I have to get off there!
โ
โWell, there might be one thing I can do.
I might be able to get the engineer to slow down the train a little.
Then I can dangle you out the door and lower you onto the platform.โ
โWill that work?โ
โItโs worth a try.โ
As they approached the platform, the train is slowing from 50 MPH.
The collector hangs the man in mid-air out the door.
The man starts running in mid-air.
โRun faster!
Faster!
โ He lowers the man and the manโs feet touch the platform.
His shoes start to smoke!
His heel comes off!
Heโs running at 30 MPH.
Heโs made it!
He starts to slow down!
The other passengers stare in amazement.
As the last car goes by, a hand grabs the man by the shirt collar and lifts the man right back into the train!
As heโs helped back on the train the gent who picked him up says, โMan youโre lucky I was here to help!
This train doesnโt even STOP in Victoria!
