Chris,

Those other tomes on the desk look kind o’ worn, must be carrying them around quite a bit. OTOH that is one way to be reasonably grounded, carry extra weight. :wink: :slight_smile: :smiley:

Coulda sworn it was Thos Jefferson, Esq., searching for fresh expeditionary fields after Lewis and Clark went looking for Patagonia and ended up in Washegon.

I dream of Jeanie, she's a light brown hare ...

And I’m not sure I want to know what you know, Fred. Too deep for me …

Fr. Fred,

Isn’t that the way they should be read? Otherwise, why bother ? :wink: :slight_smile:

…oh sometimes when the “Company Clerk” “Cooks” the books; I can’t get too enthusiastic…but then that might just fall under the heading of “Creative writting”.

The IPP&W Railroad lives with "Cooked Books". It keeps us in great shape running faster than the loan sharks, and government agents !!!!!

With the price of coal reaching too high during the witer months. We cease operating the railroad, and use the coal supply to feed our fires for brewing bheer and distilling fine whiskey. We have our priorities in fine shape.

Well, there's this disused siding out along the line, and if you run full tilt through the buffer stops, you end up inside the magic mountain ... and that's where Fred sends the rev-en-ew-ers. And they come back, if'n they ever come back, with long white beards and raving about some guy named Henry Hudson or suchlike playing ninepins in a deserted glen while consuming quantities of excellent Hollands. Naturally, they are invalided out of the service and sent to that place where large scale model railroaders go after they have pondered too long about scale and gauge.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There’s a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Of course, in Fred’s case he gets around the lake on his amphibious lawn tractor, which is equipped with a tender water scoop from an NYC Hudson, the better to fill the barrel mounted on the trailer he tows behind.

Hansel and Gretel discovered the Gingerbread House about 45 minutes after they discovered the mushrooms.

“See it?” Gretel said? “It is right over there.”

“Oh, yeahhhhh. I see it toooooooooo.” Hansel said.

Musta been in the Big Rock Candy Mountains. :smiley:
