Annoyed Commuter
This is a letter sent by a commuter to London Midland Railway Company, regarding their services.
Dear Sir,
I have been travelling on your trains daily for the last twenty-two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day.
I am tired of standing in the corridor all the time on a thirty mile trip.
I think the transport system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.
Yours Sincerely,
John Smith
The company replied
Dear Mr Smith,
We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history.
The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot.
Yours Sincerely,
London Midland Railway Company
The commuter replied
Dear Sir,
I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are confused in your history. If you will refer to the Bible, Book of David, 9th Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his a$$
That, gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last twenty-two years!
Yours Sincerely,
John Smith
