Banta and his wife, Preeto, drove their car to a supermarket only to have it break down in the parking lot. Banta told Preeto to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car. Preeto returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection Preeto saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found herself staring at Banta who was standing idly by. The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his head. |
A large two engine train was crossing America. After they had gone some distance one of the engines broke down. "No problem," the engineer thought, and carried on at half-power. Further 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 this is a train and not a plane." |
