I think I get it now! <br /> <br /> <br />And the funny thing is... <br /> <br />Late one night a stoped logging train was rear ended by an en express freight train, the investigation later that day was centered on whether or not the crew of the logging train had flagged the express train sufficiently. <br />"Now, then," said the superintendent to the log train's rear brakeman, "were you flagging your train that night?" <br /> <br />"Yes, sir," he said. <br /> <br />"And were you at least a half-mile from your train?" asked the superintendent. <br /> <br />"Yes, sir," said the brakie. <br /> <br />"And did you attempt to flag the express down?" asked the superintendent. <br /> <br />"Yes, sir, and they went right on past me," the brakie said. <br /> <br />"And did you use a red lantern?" the super asked. <br /> <br />"Yes, sir," the man said. "Of course." <br />Well, the railroad couldn't decide who was at fault, so the investigation was closed. <br /> <br />"You did just what I asked you to," said the conductor of the local freight to the rear brakeman after the hearing. "You told the truth. But were you nervous at all?" <br /> <br />"You bet!" replied the brakeman. "I was hopin' that guy wouldn't ask me if the lantern was lit!"
