Contractors on the London Crossrail project have turned up dozens of
bodies of people who are believed to have died of old age waiting for a
train on the Northern Line.

Archaeologists have been called to the site to examine the bodies, many
of whom still bear the marks of standing on the platform furiously
looking at the sign which has said "Next train 2 minutes" for over
seventy years.

Experts believed that the victims all slowly passed way due to being
reluctant to leave the platform as ‘there’ll be one along in a minute’.

I thought jokes like that were themselves preserved at the British Museum.
