Joke # 27

Two ladies in a Via rail car argued loudly concerning opening and closing of the window, and at last called the porter as a referee.
"If this window is open," one declared, "I shall catch cold, and will probably die."
"If the window is shut," the other announced, "I shall certainly suffocate and die." The two glared at each other. The porter was at a loss, but he welcomed the words of a wise, slightly inebriated man with a red nose who sat nearby. He said to the porter, "First, open the window, conductor. That will kill one. Next, shut it. That will kill the other. Then we can have some peace."
