The engineer of a train passing through Poland could see no light because the power had been knocked out by a severe ice storm.
“We’re running out of coal,” he said to his trainman, “but I think we’re coming to Gdansk or Danzig, whatever they call it now. Let’s stop and send the porter out to buy more fuel. Can you see a sign on the depot that says ‘Gdansk’ in this dim light?”
“No”, replied the trainman, “it appears to be ‘Danzig’ in the dark.”
“Buy Coal, Porter!” sang out the engineer.
