Letter to British Rail

Gentlemen, your trains are too full and I am tired of standing all the way to work. I think your transportation is worse than that which people enjoyed 2000 years ago.

Patrick Finnegan.

Answer form BR:

Dear Mr. Finnegan, we acknowledge your letter on the shortcomings of our service but believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transport 2000 years ago was by foot.

Sincerely, British Rail.

Reply from Finnegan:

Gentlemen, it is you who are confused about history. I refer you to the Bible, Kings chapter 9: “Balaam rode to town on his ass”.

That is something I have not been able to do on your train for the last two years.
