Dear Diary:
One Metro-North train conductor at Grand Central talking animatedly to another:
“I had this passenger without a ticket, so I say, ‘Where you going, sir?’
“He says, ‘I’m going to hell.’
“I say: ‘Help me out here. Where are you going, sir?’
“He keeps saying, ‘I’m going to hell.’
“Finally, I say: ‘We don’t go there, sir. Let’s stick to somewhere between New York and Connecticut.’â€
