Been riding backwards

Bad weather had forced the Chicago airport to close, and Metcalf decided to go home by train. His wife met him at the station.

"You look exhausted," she noted.

"Been riding backwards for ten hours," he explained. "I never could stand that."

"Why," said his spouse, "didn't you ask the person sitting opposite to change seats with you?"

"I couldn't do that," said Metcalf. "There wasn't anybody there."
