Guarding The Gang

Guarding The Gang.

Ganger returning by train after an hour's absence from his gang, saw the Inspector of Permanent Way in the guard's van. Fearing that in his absence his gang might not be doing their best when the Inspector of Permanent Way passed, he wrote a note and threw it out to his men as the train went through. The note was-“The Inspector is on this train, so look out. P. S.: Do not pick up this note until the train has passed, in case he sees you.”

A Scotsman after purchasing a railway ticket, counted his change so often that the booking clerk asked him if his change was not correct. “Aye,” says Scottie, “its ric'sht, but it's only just ric'sht, mind ye.”
