A Joke to Start the Week: Strangers on a Train
It's the first Monday of the new year, and like every other Monday, it's time for a joke to start the week.
Dipping into the joke vault of Old Jews Telling Jokes, we come up with a joke told by Max Weisberg, a 67-year-old life insurance consultant.
Here's the setup: These two men were on a train from Hartford to New York City for many years.
They sat down next to each other every morning but they never so much as said "Hello." Finally this little fellow says to this man "You know, we've been on the train for twenty years, every single day, and we don't even know each other's name." And then...
Enjoy!
