    Default Missed train

    John had been out on the town and missed the last
    train to Munruben. In desperation he asked the
    Stationmaster if there was any solution.

    The Stationmaster asked, "Can you run fast?" and
    John replied, "Yes, I can try".

    The Stationmaster said, "Another train will stop here
    shortly. It does not stop at Munruben though. Get on it and when you get to Munruben
    get your legs into gear and jump off. Keep up your
    momentum so that you dont fall over".

    John boarded the next train and got ready for the
    Munruben station. As the train was passing the
    platform he jumped off and kept his balance. His
    poor old legs were working overtime.

    Just as the rear of the train caught up to him a
    big brawny arm reached out and snatched him up.
    John found himself in the guard's van with the
    guard saying, "Bet you thought you missed it eh".

    Well that was a good one Allan, the stay in hospital must have sharpened your wit.

    Now what I want to know is he heading north or south
    How long was the train
    and how many legs were on it
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
