A young passenger was looking everywhere for his ticket because the conductor was coming to punch
(打孔) the ticket. He was looking for it in all the pockets of his coats and trousers. What surprised the other
passengers most was that they found he had the ticket in his mouth. The conductor quickly pulled the ticket
out of his mouth, punched it and gave it back to the young man. When the conductor moved on, all the other
passengers couldn't help laughing. One of them said to him at last,"I'm sure you felt foolish just now sitting
there looking everywhere for your ticket when it was right in your mouth all the time." "Foolish?" answered
the passenger."I was chewing (嚼) the date off."
