A slight train mishap

Indian joke..

Aaj Tak" gets news that 200 sardars are killed in a train accident

at Amritsar station. Only one Sardar left alive. The correspondent

goes to the Sardarji and the conversation between them goes as

follows:

Correspondent: How did this happen?

Sardarji: Well, all the 200 people were waiting for the train. They

were standing on the platform. Then there was this announcement that

the train is arriving on platform number 2. They got scared to know

that the train is arriving on the platform and hence they jumped

onto the tracks to save themselves. The announcement was misleading.

The train arrived on the track and you can see the result.

Correspondent: Well, I guess, you must be the intelligent Sardarji.

Why did you not jump onto the tracks?

Sardarji: I was actually trying to commit suicide. I was waiting for

the train on the tracks. When I heard that the train is arriving on

the platform, I climbed up...
