Three salesmen got snowed in at a farmer's house. They had to spend
the night, and one salesman had to sleep in the attic, as there
weren't enough bedrooms. The farmer, being a trusting soul as most
farmers are, allowed his two daughters to sleep with the two salesman,
each in their own bedrooms. Before retiring, the three salesmen
discussed whether they were going to score that night with the two
daughters. They devised a code of signals so that each could let the
other two know if they were successful. The first said he would make
the sound of a train horn and yell, "Freight train through bedroom
one!" The second said he would yell out, "Mail train through bedroom
two!"
Sometime after retiring, sure enough, the yell "Freight train through
bedroom one!" was heard. A short time later, "Mail train through
bedroom two!" was heard. Not wanting to be outdone, the salesman in
the attic blurted out, "Handcar through the attic!"
