I also didn't get it right away. An Englishman explained it to me. He understood it instantly. Think about why the brothers, who are from Scotland, carried people instead of buying a vehicle.

The problem was in the original wording. It talked of "taking people' and not 'carrying people'. I think you would need to be psychic to have got it with that word wrong. :smile:

Wow! I'm either psychic!(?) ... or I actually evaluated the whole sentence, which talked about transportation business:

They went into the transportation industry, taking people between Glasgow and nearby small towns.
I think it's fairly clear.
[but not to say the same about the neck part, I agree ...]

"Why does a chicken coop have 2 doors? Because, if it had 4 doors it would be chicken sedan."

The pessimist sees only darkness in a tunnel.
The optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
The realist recognizes the light is an oncoming train.
The train driver sees three idiots on the track.

What if the realist is the optimist!? Then there is only two idiots!

Another similar:

The pessimist sees that the train has descended into the tunnel.
The optimist sees that it will come back out rising again.
The smart train driver has secretly abandoned the train inside the downhill tunnel, because it has no brakes!
Question: How many people inside the train wear tie?
Answer: Soon it won't matter! :biggrin::oldbiggrin::oldsurprised:
