"Mommy, if big cows can have little cows, and big horses can have little horses, and big people can have little people, why can't big trains have little trains?"

"That's a real good question. You should ask the engineer that question."

"Mr. Engineer, Mr. Engineer, my Mommy sent me up here to ask you, if big cows can have little cows, and big horses can have little horses, and big people can have little people, why can't big trains have little trains?"

"Kid, you tell your mother that the Northern Pacific railroad always pulls out in time."

Yea.. OP should re-write the joke with a German train company

LadeeAlana@reddit (OP)

It was a Japanese train company. The mother and son were American. The engineer was Japanese, but he spoke English, as you have to do when you're in transportation. So the joke's on you.

You're thinking of the Japanese. Ask any German about the state of DB and they will start ranting about how awful it's gotten.

Oh really? I guess i just had bad information. I'm going to Europe in the late summer and looking at taking some trains and i was told German trains are always on time.

I guess a Japanese engineer is better for the joke then
