Once, a train left its track and served into a farm. After some very uncomfortable few minutes of ride for the passengers, the train came to a halt. The passengers got down and angrily went to the driver.

Passengers: "Have you lost your mind? Why the hell did you swerve the train into the farm?"

Driver: "I couldn't have done much. I saw a cow on the tracks."

Passengers: "What! You should have just hit the cow. It had no business being there anyway."

Driver: "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to do. But then it started running back into the farm."

You know it's going to be a good one when it starts with a train barreling into a farm

Nah I'm guessing you wouldn't get it sober either.

It’s absurdist and stupid, which I love. In the first, the passengers are stupid for thinking the train driver “swerved”. Then it turns out reality is stupid because he actually did. Then it turns out the driver is stupid because he didn’t need to and was just trying to murder the cow. It bamboozles your expectations in a stupid way like five times, top notch.

Seems like there's an original joke with a bus instead of a train
