A rude passenger says: Here lady, let me hold your dog while you find a seat.
The woman says: How dare you! I ought to give you a piece of my mind!
The bus driver, who had been watching this whole thing, says: You should do it lady! That asshole has been a wise guy ever since he got on the bus!
The woman says: But my hands are full!
The driver says: Don't worry about that... Here... let me hold your monkey.

The woman begins to cry, sobbing loudly, which brings the conductor rushing up. "What's wrong, ma'am?" he asks.
"That man hurt my feelings!" wails the woman.
"Now, now," says the conductor. "I'm sure the gentleman meant no harm. Just you come with me to the dining car for a nice cup of tea, and you'll feel much calmer. And maybe, while we're there, we can find a banana for your monkey."
