A large two-engine train was crossing the
country. After they had gone some distance,
one of the engines broke down.
"No problem," the engineer thought and carried
on at half power.
Farther 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 you're not in an airplane."
