Thanks to Pat & Sue for this joke.
In a terrible accident at a railroad crossing, a train smashed
into a car and pushed it down the tracks. Though no one was killed, the driver
took the train company to court.
At the trial, the engineer insisted that he had given the driver ample warning
by waving his lantern back and forth for nearly a minute. He even stood and
convincingly demonstrated how he’d done it; the court believed his story, and
the suit was dismissed. “Congratulations,” the lawyer said to the engineer when
it was over. “You did superbly under cross-examination.” Thanks,” he said, “but
he sure had me worried.” “How’s that?” he lawyer asked. “I was afraid he was
going to ask if the damned lantern was lit!”
