Good News - Bad News

A large two-engine train was crossing the
country.

After 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."
