A big executive boarded a New York to Chicago train. He
explained to the porter, "I'm a heavy sleeper, but I want
you to be sure and wake me up at 3:00 am for the stop in
Buffalo. I don't care what I say, you just make sure I get
off in Buffalo."The next morning the executive woke up in Chicago. He was
furious. He found the porter and really gave him an earful
before hustling off to purchase a return ticket.
After he left, a co-worker said to the porter, "How can you
stand there and let that passenger abuse you like that?"
"That's nothing," said the porter. "You should have heard
the guy who I put off in Buffalo!"

On the Upper West Side of NYC lived an assimilated Jew who was
now a very militant atheist. But he sent his son to Trinity
School because, despite its denominational roots, it's a great
school, and completely secular.
After a month, the boy comes home and says casually, "By the way
Dad, do you know what Trinity means? It means the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost."
The father can barely control his rage. He seizes his son by
the shoulders and declares, "Danny, I'm going to tell you
something now and I want you never to forget it. There is only
one God... and we don't believe in him!"
