Two Engines
Posted by: <@...>
A large two engine train was crossing America.
After they had gone some distance one of the engines broke down.
"No problem," the engineer thought, and carried on at half-power.
Further on down the line, the other engine broke down, and the train came
to a standstill.
The engineer decided he should inform the passengers about why the train
had stopped, and made the following announcement:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad
news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some
time. The good news is that this is a train and not a plane."

BONUS JOKE
Response Time
Three paramedics were boasting about improvements in their respective
ambulance team's response times.
"Since we installed our new satellite navigation system," bragged the
first one, "we cut our emergency response time by ten percent."
The other paramedics nodded in approval. "Not bad," the second paramedic
commented. "But by using a computer model of traffic patterns, we've cut
our average ERT by 20 percent."
Again, the other team members gave their congratulations, until the third
paramedic said, "That's nothing! Since our ambulance driver passed the bar
exam, we've cut our emergency response time in half!"
