Country: | Why the PULLMAN COMPANY failed.....
A taveller informed a Pullman agent that he wanted a Pullman berth. "Upper or lower?" asked the agent. "What's the difference?" the customer asked.
"A difference of two dollars" replied the agent. "The lower is higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower. If you want the lower, you'll have to go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower. In other words, the higher the lower. Most people don't like the upper although it is lower on account of being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to get up to go to bed and get down to get up. You can have the lower if you pay higher. The upper is lower than the lower because it's higher. If you are willing to go higher, it'll be lower."
At this point, the customer walked away and took a cab to the airport....
