En-route to work yesterday, I sat by a table and wrote a letter – long overdue – to a friend. Engaged as I was, I suddenly became aware of a gentleman standing by the seat next to me. Whilst I (and my fellow train passengers) watched, said gentleman picked up the seat and inspected beneath it before replacing it, all without uttering a single word!
When he sat down and removed his newspaper from his bag, I remarked upon the unusual nature of his actions. He calmly replied, “Well, it gets the morning off to an interesting start,” before serenely opening his paper and reading it.
One simply couldn’t make it up!
