Another train joke, specially for sparkly1000. A young man finds himself sharing a compartment with an older man on a commuter train one evening. The YM says 'excuse me, can you tell me what time it is?'. The older man just grunts and turns away. The YM says ' you don't have to be so rude, I only wanted to know the time. Why didn't you answer me?'. The OM says 'It's like this. Like me you probably get this train most days. I tell you the time and then we get chatting. Maybe we get off at the same stop. We walk the same way home. I invite you in for a drink. You meet my lovely daughter. You ask her out. You fall in love. You propose.

Well if you think I'm going to let me daughter marry a man who can't even afford his own watch, the you're sadly mistaken!!

A C ofE vicar, a Jewish rabbi and a Catholic priest share a train compartment.
The vicar suggests as it's just the three of them they might speak about a secret they were ashamed of.
The rabbi said that he was ashamed that he often emptied the collection box and bet the money on horses.
The vicar said he was ashamed that his weakness was women and he often visited brothels.
They both turned expectantly to the priest who said.
"I'm ashamed to say I'm a terrible gossip".
