I boarded the train to attend my cousin's wedding in Kanpur. When the ticket collector came to check the tickets, I realized I had left my wallet in the cab!

  "The tickets, please," said the ticket collector. "Give him the tickets," said my friend. "Well, I left my tickets in the cab in which we came," I said. The ticket collector replied, "Well I'm supposed to remove you from the train and take a fine, but I'm sure we could come to an arrangement...is that a gun in your hand there, sir?"

  "Indeed it is, and well I'm supposed to make disrespectful people acquaint with it, but I'm sure we could come to an arrangement," I said. "Of course, sir," he replied quickly, "please enjoy your trip." Then the collector went away, at a rather quick pace.
