A New York businessman boarded a train in Albany on
his way to Buffalo. As it was a night train, he took a
sleeper car and gave the porter strict instructions to
waken him and put him off in Buffalo.

"I'm a very heavy sleeper," the passenger said, "and I
may give you a hard time. But whatever you do, make
sure to put me off in Buffalo... even if you have to
put me off in my pajamas."

The next morning, the man woke up to find himself in
Cleveland. He located the porter and chewed him out
with some very abusive language. After the man left, a
bystander asked the porter how he could stand there
and take that verbal abuse.

"That weren't nothin'," the porter replied. "You
should've heard the guy I put off in Buffalo."
