I want to tell you one story, about

Indian train. Aa Chaa?

 

RICK:

PASSENGER:

Vell, there was a new train. It was sooo

nice, it had mirror in toilet, it covered

the vall. Some passengers had to pass

water, so when they went to the toilet

they saw there is someone inside.

Each person saw them self in the mirror,

and thinking the toilet occupied they

returned to take seat. But always there

was someone in the toilet, so no one

could use.

(Pause)

It was very bad, and the people, they

were angry. So when train reached the

station, the angry people approached

station master to complain, "some black

heart is not vacating the toilet."

(Smile)

So the Station Master he took the people

to see, vaat is the problem; but when he

opened the door to toilet, and looked in,

(Grin)

Vell, he turned to the people and said,

"Very sorry! It is BIG Railway Official."

Ha ha ha! Ha ha, Isn't it!

 

RICK:

(Laughing)

Aa Chaa, ha ha, ha ha! Oh, that's a good

one, ha ha!!
