A little train-related humor

I thought this was pretty funny:

Heed the dire warning!

Funny one Ray. The story just about sums it up for most of us I think. My wife says I’m addicted. Guilty!

I did think it was a real article but who would run it? Then I noticed it was the Onion.

“For Better or Worse” was a great cartoon. I recently found a panel I had clipped out from probably 20 years ago and the Fathers wife was shopping with a friend at the mall and the friend was saying how much she wished her husband had a hobby. Meanwhile, next panel, the father is leaning against a wall at the mall reading the latest issue of “choo” while his friend the hubby of the woman wishing he had a hobby is oogling a woman strolling by. I guess he has a hobby.

I like trains they are safer than women.

Safer yes, Less expensive… Well the jury is out… But the wife always knows where to find us when we disappear from the honey do list.

Yes Vic, they are perfect. Especially the one about the Dash-9.

All that’s pretty funny, but sadly true;)

Just a little too close to home, Steve.
