The Stationmaster's Lot
The Stationmaster's Lot.
The country stationmaster did not wear a uniform, and one day when the train came in, he stood at the platform gate to take the passengers’ tickets.
A pretty girl came up to him, and when he held out his hand for her ticket she seized it, gave it a tight squeeze, and followed this up by giving him a hearty kiss.
The stationmaster was surprised, but managed to say: “That's all very nice, Miss, but I want your ticket.”
“Oh,” replied the girl, with a blush, “aren't you Uncle John?”
