Hey, Mister Train - I have to deliver flowers and a frisbee. Race ya! (Several seconds later, he had not only kicked the head off that poor pipe-laborer, but found himself dealing with what they call "a Boeing Suppository.")--The Pennsylvania New York Central Transportation Company - shortened to Penn Central - was a collection of merged lines that survived as a corporate entity for a whopping eight years before it was folded into something else.

What's hanging down there between his legs, well, I have no idea.
