What is the difference between a schoolmaster and an engine driver? One trains the mind, the other minds the train. 4. Why are railways like laundresses? Because they have ?ironed? the world, and occasionally done a little mangling. 5. Which is the most difficult train to catch? The 12:50, because it is ten to one if you do catch it. 6.
