Hobo Fun (with pictures)

"Hey Judd. Do you see three rails or is it just me. I see 1...2...3...yup 3 rails, so I'm guessing I'd better lay off this bottle for a while..." Thumbs Up [tup]

 

 

 

"No third rail Hank, so you're right to lay off the bottle. Trains can only have two rails. Last week I hit the bottle too hard and I saw a T-Rex tearing through the canyon in a terrible mood! Since we're just hobos though, no one can hold us to a higher standard..." Dead [xx(]

 

 

It's good to have a friend like you Judd. You're not judgmental of me at all. I've never seen a T-Rex like you, so we must be drinking from different bottles. I sure feel like eating some apple pie though, and if I ain't seeing things again, there's one cooling in that cabin window over there..." Shock [:O]

 

 

"You bring me back a piece of that pie would you Hank? It's getting late so I'm just gonna stay here and snooze for a while. It's better anyway that you take the pie after dark. No one will see you that way. Just watch out for bears and of course....a T-Rex..." Zzz [zzz]

 

 

"Sure Judd, anything for a friend. If they catch me with the pie, I'll just act nutty, deny the crime, and tell them I was 'framed' by a box car thief" Evil [}:)]

 

 

"Good thinking Hank. I'll be over by Spitwater Hotel in the boat. I'll be waiting for my pie if you still want to share it with me..." Question [?]

 

 

"Hey Judd, here's your piece of pie. I ain't drinking no more but I still see that 3rd rail on the tracks. Are you sure that trains can only have two rails Judd?" Question [?]

 

 

"Well Hank, I'll have to think about that for a while..." Banged Head [banghead]
