The train was about to pull out of the
station. Swinging a
large bag, a young man managed to reach the
train, throw his bag in and
climb aboard, gasping for air.

seeking at him, another man said, “Young man, you should be in better

shape! At your age, I could catch the train by a gnat’s whisker and

still be fresh. Look at you, panting away.”

The young man took
a deep breath and said, “Pop, I missed this train
at the *last*
station.”
