 <center>The Railroad Switchman</center> Old Black Rufus is the railroad switchman for the Chicago Choo-Choo Line. One night there is a terrible accident at Rufus' crossing, involving the Mexico Midnight Express and Senator Dingbat's old Toyota car - which is totally destroyed, along with the "good old" senator. Naturally, Old Rufus is the chief witness at the court hearing, and the entire case hinges upon whether Rufus has displayed his warning signal. The lawyers give Rufus an intense series of questions, but Rufus sticks to his story. "I was standing there, your honor," cries Rufus, "and I was waving my lamp around so hard my arm almost came off. But the senator just paid no damned attention!" Later, Chicago Choo-Choo chairman, Chester Cheese, congratulates Rufus on his unwavering testimony. "I thought for sure," says Chester, "that those darn lawyers would scare you, and make you change your story." "No, sir! No, sir!" exclaims Rufus. "But I am glad they didn't ask me if my lamp was switched on!" Author Unknown
