This appeared today in rec.humor.funny and for reasons inexplicable a
certain transport operator came to mind. I shall leave said operator
nameless for dignity's sake.



Letter to the Transport Authority:

-+-+-+-+-

Gentlemen:

I have been riding trains daily for the last two years, and the service on
your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the
aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think the transportation system is
worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.

Yours truly,
A Commuter

Dear Sir:

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.

Sincerely,
The Railroad

Gentlemen:

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 ass. That,
gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last
two years.

Yours truly,
A Commuter
