he was going down the grade.

There was something odd about

OM45GE - Posted - 11/27/2018:  03:28:28

the way Casey was holding his purse.

He had the

DC5 - Posted - 11/27/2018:  06:16:21

strap wrapped around his neck.


When this caught on

OM45GE - Posted - 11/27/2018:  06:27:43

among the other engineers, they called the look the “Casey Clutch”.

Casey wasn’t particularly happy

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/27/2018:  07:11:47

coming out of the metaphorical closet.

His lipstick collection

OM45GE - Posted - 11/27/2018:  07:17:04

was among the finest on the Illinois Central Railroad.

It was the envy of

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/27/2018:  07:31:20

millions of railroad/way bums of the 1930's.

Never hop a freight

Your fellow vagabonds will

DC5 - Posted - 11/27/2018:  19:02:43

talk about you behind your back.


Songs will be

sung when they throw you off the train.

there is only one way to

start a sentence, and that is with an uppercase letter.


Strunk and White wrote

OM45GE - Posted - 11/28/2018:  05:58:16

pulp romance novels as a sideline.

The grammar was correct, but the plot lines were

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/28/2018:  06:31:04

as weak as hobo coffee.

Always take the high road

during the rainy season.

Otherwise, you may get stuck

DC5 - Posted - 11/28/2018:  09:32:49

in a mud slide and buried alive.



This is why you should

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/28/2018:  12:26:28

always carry a long piece of bamboo to breathe through.

The last time I was buried alive

banjoscotty - Posted - 11/29/2018:  03:49:24

was in a movie.

The movie is coming soon to a theater near you so you can

OM45GE - Posted - 11/29/2018:  06:14:08

watch me suffer in Technicolor.

It’s quite entertaining, but

I hope all viewers will support my GoFundMe website.

MGM pays lousy

for extras and non speaking parts.


If everyone in the country donates $1.00

OM45GE - Posted - 11/29/2018:  10:30:31

I will be able to indulge my taste in mega yachts.

Either that, or I’ll

banjoscotty - Posted - 11/29/2018:  13:23:42

go on an extended world tour.

With that in mind just

DC5 - Posted - 11/29/2018:  13:54:14

imagine the banjos I can collect from around the world.





Just thinking about it

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/29/2018:  14:47:31

makes my galpal faint dead away.

Her 5th string tolerance

OM45GE - Posted - 11/29/2018:  17:55:43

is so low it has slid over into intolerance.

In fact, you could say that she

banjoscotty - Posted - 11/30/2018:  04:25:26

has no 5th string.

But she does have the G string which

DC5 - Posted - 11/30/2018:  06:00:09

(nope, not going there)

is never quite in tune.


This frustrates her

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/30/2018:  06:49:41

to the point of gnashing her teeth and biting her forearm.

I regret buying that bottlecap banjo

OM45GE - Posted - 11/30/2018:  07:58:53

ever since my tried to actually play it.

The intonation was

banjoscotty - Posted - 11/30/2018:  08:42:27

not intonated at all.

but none the less it

OM45GE - Posted - 11/30/2018:  13:40:51

was better than no banjo at all.

Of course, no banjo at all is better than

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/30/2018:  13:46:58

the sounds of silence.

Speaking of musical duos

DC5 - Posted - 11/30/2018:  13:55:13

I've always enjoyed the Smothers Brothers.


I especially liked it when

chuckv97 - Posted - 11/30/2018:  13:56:14

Tommy played his “thumb over” orchestra chords.

Folkies blasted him

OM45GE - Posted - 11/30/2018:  15:29:31

for reasons known only to themselves.

Their self-righteous indignation was

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/01/2018:  10:38:14

their undoing when jazz musicians started boycotting their concerts.



Never tell a jazzer to take off his shades

unless you find the sight of dilated pupils and bloodshot eyes appealing.

They’re usually so high

banjoscotty - Posted - 12/02/2018:  08:36:17

on drugs and booze that they can't tell you their names.

Other than that,they just

DC5 - Posted - 12/02/2018:  08:40:55

mellow out and play whatever's in their heads.


The problem is

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/02/2018:  14:25:45

they give you lots of notes, but lack that good ol’ Bluegrass drive.

Speaking of driving,

OM45GE - Posted - 12/02/2018:  18:38:57

I drove my last girlfriend crazy with my jokes.

She said she would

banjoscotty - Posted - 12/03/2018:  05:30:51

See me in the funny papers.

And she did,,just after the

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/03/2018:  06:52:13

she re-arranged my face with a frying pan.

Our relationship soured when

OM45GE - Posted - 12/03/2018:  09:01:42

she asked me if her new dress made her look fat.

I said,

chuckv97 - Posted - 12/03/2018:  16:33:54

“The dress has nothing to do with it, honey.”

Then she ripped the tailpiece off my banjo

OM45GE - Posted - 12/04/2018:  04:41:04

and chased me out of the house, threatening to put it where the sun don’t shine.

I was wondering

banjoscotty - Posted - 12/04/2018:  04:46:48

just where that might be?

I'm very glad she didn't catch

OM45GE - Posted - 12/04/2018:  04:52:26

me before I reached Chuck’s outhouse and locked myself inside.

She’s outside now and

DC5 - Posted - 12/04/2018:  06:46:20

it's beginning to reek in here.


I'm afraid I may
