Miss Mookie…
Some time during the night, my husband suffered a severe head injury, accompanied by what appears to be a major mauling by a band of house cats…
Now all he does is sit in the middle of the floor laughing un-controllably…
My question is, can I have him committed?

That’s the problem - half of them are already driving on the right[(-D]
RailroadingBrit, you should see the drivers over here in PA they like to make right turns from the left hand turning lane only. They also love to run red lights.
Dirvers in Louisville, KY like to drive up on people’s lawns and go the opposite direction on a one way street.
Yep, we get both of those - mind you, with some of the narrower streets you have to drive on the pavement to keep things moving. We also get the odd loose sheep in the roadway to make things even more entertaining - they can write off a normal car and have no sense of self-preservation!
So sorry you lost your mind Ed! Mookie is a tiger that does not forget. It’s been nice knowing you, otherwise I’m not stepping into this one.
Although, to be “fair?” to those drivers, they were driving in people’s yards
because they didn’t want to wait for the railroad crossing gates to raise back up!!
And before that, we saw a truck/vehicle up in front of us, whose passenger got
out of the vehicle, and manually raised the gate so his buddy could drive on
across the tracks[:0] And like Sarah said, it WAS a one-way street. “Where are the cops when you want them around?”
They were only going one way at the time, right, Cher?
Yeah, Carl, they were going one way, but it’s a one-way west street, so. . .at
least no one was driving westbound at the time!!
Check at your local donut shop.
Dear Ms Mook,
All of my co-workers have pictures of their loved ones on their desks. I have a picture of an ALCo C424. Every now and then people look at the picture, then look at me kind of funny. Do you think they’re jealous?

Dear Mrs Mookie,
My wife will not allow me to buy a caboose and put it our backyard. How can I
overcome her lack of appreciation of railroad memorabilia and decorative aesthetics?[%-)]

In order, mostly - attend no reunions. All you do is eat, lie and slobber on each other!
Trains don’t stop at crossings. They either block them or the cars stop/hesitate.
Become a conductor/engineer - railroad police would never think to look for you there.
Never live in a duplex - neighbors become family! Be a good neighbor - sell their house for them!
You could try suing Amtrak, but my advice would be to stay out of Houston - bad dudes live there.
Move to Wyoming - no rif-raf there. Not even any rif…
Oh Goody - early turkey at Applebees! So noted. Only thing saving your tailfeathers is the black and white boys and one nice hen! I could sell tickets to observe the sparring! Y’all come!
Hire a maid or buy a doggie apron. See Dr Phil for other symptoms!
Uh - SD70 please.
Told you to vote wisely!!
Common sense is like hair - either you have it or you don’t.
See someone here has really common sense - (make that a big chocolate cake!)
Sue your parents - end product not good! Put your kids up for adoption to a good home!
Make Boo Boo the designated driver.
You’ve never been to Omaha/Lincoln have you?
Trains don’t smell. They don’t even sniff. Maybe you should change cologne and get a new singles web-site.
Mr. B from Houston is survived by a wife and a whole flock of young ladies, who each now have more bathroom time.
Hopefully that covers all that nonsen…your wonderful, thoughtful questions!

Dear Mrs. Mook,
How can I get my Mother to buy me a SD80MAC and a SD70ACe?? I want the SD80MAC to be in Conrail Quaility Paint, and the SD70ACe should be in UP flag unit paint. I was also hopeing my mom could have a little rail yard with a hump built right outside the house. How can I presuade her to do it??
After seeing the traffic in Tijuana and riding in a taxi there(A white knuckle thrill!)I have come to the conclusion that they only have one traffic law there. There is a curb on this side of the street,and a curb on that side. Drive between them[:0][xx(]!
Dear Mrs. Mookie,
I have always been very attracted to a certain person. For years she has been a faithful companion, always doing what she said she would, rarely let me down, and always carried herself with a rather dignified appearance.
But lately she has not been herself; she seems to be rather withdrawn, seems like she is giving up on trying to better herself, and has completely let herself become so unattractive that I do not even want to be seen admiring her in public. She originally was from the Chicago area, but just before she got so strange she moved to Canada somewhere.
I feel as though I am being unfaithful, but I do not know what to do any more. It seems as though I do not see her nearly as much as I used to.
And worst of all, I find I am becoming ‘familiar’ with another girl. She is from the Erie, PA area. She seems to be more sure of herself. She does not seem afraid of any competition. And she has a huge family. She sounds kinda strange–sort of gurgly when she talks; and she is not quite as dependable as my other girl, and I do not think she will function that well as the years add up. The other girl had a real high-pitched scream, especially when she really got going.
I like them both, and yet I feel like I am being unfaithful.
Help me Ms. Mook. What am I to do?
Get out a camera and go railfanning, everything looks better after that.
Hey Mookie,
I can hardly wait to see what your fertile imagination is going to come up with to get back at Ed for this one. I’m sure it will be something special!
Go on line for your local chapter of “Don’t Miff the Cat!” They have great support groups available for friends and family of people who have had this “disease” inflicted on them.
The body should be shipped to SE Nebraska - Lincoln chapter, where it will be mummified due to boredom and then set up next to the BNSF yards as a “Yard” ornament!

And where is storyteller Dan when I need him?
Unfortunately - life goes on and the only thing constant is change. You must move on and find a new chapter in your book. Just like that old favorite “Wizard of Oz” - Dorothy had an experience - and moved on with her life!
Big family - do they all look alike? Keep that in mind for any future off-spring!
You may become “Old Faithful”, but never unfaithful.
Age is not kind to anything. We all find ourselves remembering the good old days and the screaming…ahem… I must move on myself.
