humor (allegedly)

True story ... I was at the Brooklyn roundhouse while a steam engine was being fired-up to pull a passenger excursion. In walked an obviously excited railfan with his wife and three kids in tow. As he passes by, I overheard him telling his family how big and powerful the engine was and that if the boiler ruptured, all the high pressure steam would turn them into lobsters before they could escape. Just then the safety valve on the roundhouse compressed-air drier lifted with a deafening SSSSSHHHHHHHH. I’ve never seen people move so fast in my life! If you’re the first to submit a bit of good humor and we use it, it’s worth $10! Page 121 • Feb 2012 MRH Derailments • Dashboard
