They were just shakin down the firebox to get the ashes out! They couldn't help it if those stupid wooden ties under the track caught far and set the platform decking on far, and it spread to the station house!

All that beer is what caused the station to burn down.

TJ,
Not Fire as in discharge your Howitzer Mr. Artillery man, it's fire as in burn your fingers!

It looks like Jon's crew had a tad bit of an overload of that St.Pauli stuff, or girl, uh,whatever!

if the two crew men wouldn't have stopped at the still in the mountains and loaded the hooch ,instead of stopping and filling up with water, the fire would not have happened.

They sure look an awfull lot like those two nitwits I ran off, up in N.Carolina. One of them parked a brandnew bobcat next to the water, and went to sleep. He woke up when the tide came in, and the water was up to his chest. Yeah, he was sitting in the bobcat. The otherone managed to throw himself overboard with the tow line on the tug. I sure wish I hadn't had to fish him out, but the paperwork would have have been unbelievable if I hadn't. Yep! sure sounds like the same two! lol
