A woman complained that passing trains rocked her bed so much she couldn’t sleep.

“Unbelievable,” said the real estate agent.

The woman who had just taken a lease on the flat near the railway line, insisted that the real estate agent come around and see for himself.

As he was being shown in, he noticed a mouse trap with a fish in it. “What’s that.” he enquired?

“Oh! I’ll talk to you about the rising damp later. Right now, a train is due and I want you to experience the vibrations.” 

They entered the bedroom. It was quiet. “I can’t believe passing trains rock the bed,” he said.       

“Shakes the living daylights out of it,” she persisted, looking at her watch. 

She heard a distant train whistle “Here’s the five-thirty-five. Quick, lie down,” she said, as she stretched out on to the other side of the bed.

That’s when her husband walked in. “What do you think you are doing?” he roared, glaring at the real estate agent stretched out on the eiderdown.   

“Would you believe, waiting for a train,” he ventured.
