Sometimes the Colonel has NO sense of humor.....

I was running about this morning, getting ready for my workday at the glamourous highrise (which looks amazingly like the building that "Today's World Magazine" had its offices in on "The Doris Day Show") when the Colonel called (he was already at work. He starts work at 5am or something awful like that). I have a train ticket that needs exchanged, and he was calling to advise me that I should stop at the ticket counter before work.

"So what you are saying is that I should go Down By The Station, Early In the Morning?" (even in the early hours, I'm still a card. )

The colonel was not amused. Absolutely no reaction. He never likes it when I make train jokes. Oh, but I'm supposed to guffaw like Ed McMahon when he calls an Amtrak train "The silver vibrator"

Come to think of it, that's pretty funny. It would make a great advertising tagline, if they wanted to attract that class of people.
