Bring out the humour of the waterloo station incident?

No one at Waterloo Station could tell the men where to catch their train. They ran around questioning railway employees from those with the simplest of jobs to the traffic superintendent to no avail. Finally, they slipped a porter from the Exeter Mail some extra money to take them to Kingston........ the railway looked for the train for hours, but they got where they wanted to go.
