Many years ago, I remember an annoucement on the Sydney underground "
..... trains are running late and are out of order"

Took me 5 mins to work out how the trains could be running at all if
they were out of order ..... oh, you mean out of *timetable* order ...
doh!!!

Few years ago, I remember an announcement on the Sydney underground: "
.....so trains are running late and are out of order"

Took me a few mins to work out how they could be running at all - not
just late - if they were "out of order" ..... oh, they mean out of
*timetable* order ..... doh!!
