WHY BE POLITE ANYWAY?
Every seat was occupied, when a group of women got in. The conductor noticed a man who he thought was asleep.
‘Wake up!’ shouted the conductor.
‘I wasn't asleep,’ said the passenger.
‘Not asleep! Then what did you have your eyes closed for?’
‘It was because of the crowded condition of the car,’ explained the passenger. ‘I hate to see the women standing.’
