stupid mind game

Here it is: One day a kid named Billy who was only 4 was being sent away on a train, but Billy could neither read nor talk, so his guardian made a sign saying his destenation. But in the end Billy never got to his destenation. Why?


i thought this thing was kind of stupid, what do you think?

here's a hint: "BILLY" is a "KID"😉

is it because "destination" was spelled wrong on the sign?

Billy is a goat

That sign was probably very tasty.

Here are some possibilities where Billy isn't a goat:

- No one actually pays attention to Billy and helps him get off where his sign says
- The train goes to the wrong place
- The destination is something like a circus and it's no longer in town when Billy arrives
- Billy eats the sign despite being a human (he's only 4)

And my favourite possible explanation: he's holding the sign upside down, unaware that it spells something different that way.

You doubt me? Okay, since sending kids on trains is typically a British thing, let's say he's going to Wales. He drops the sign at some point (work with me here) and ends up holding it upside down. As a result, the adults misread it, and he's taken to Salem and burned as a witch.

Not so funny now, is it?

Not so. "e" turned upside down looks like "a". I did my research before concocting this story of transatlantic train travel.
