The Lady and the Drunk

A woman carrying her little baby gets on board the train and takes her seat. A man, stumbling out of the club car –

obviously very drunk – stops in his tracks and peers down closely at the baby.



“My gawd!” he slurs, “But that’s one ugly kid ya got there lady! I’ve seen some ugly kids, but that one wins the prize for UGLY! My gawd, but why don’t you put a bag over its head?”



Well the woman becomes hysterical at this man’s comments. A steward rushes over and all he can make out from the woman’s screams and sobs is that, somehow, the drunk has been the cause of this. So he escorts the man to another car then comes back to try to comfort the woman.



“Look, lady, I don’t know what the man did or said, but I’ve moved him to another car so that he can’t bother you any more.” The steward said. “I see that you’re still very upset so I brought you a drink, compliments of the train, to help you calm down. And look! I also brought a banana for your monkey!”
