Three drunkards, after a session in a Colombo bar , arm in arm, stagger on to the Colombo Fort railway station platform.
Just as the train was about to
leave, a porter manages to bundle two of them aboard the train that
was moving out of the station, but was unable to cope with the third
man, who stands there sadly watching the train disappear.
"Sorry", said the
porter, "but I just didn't have time to get you onto the train".
"Yes," said the
stranded traveler, "My friends will be sorry too - they were
here to see me off" !
