Well,
The way it works down here is,
they put a bunch of cookies in a jar with a mouth just narrow enough that you have to squeeze your hand through it.
Of course, once youve grabbed a cookie, you cant withdraw your hand, the mouth is to narrow.
So while your walking around with a cookie jar stuck on your hand, they ask you questions like,

1: Why is a locomotive with two blown traction motors a bad order?

2: Which way is up?

3: What is the nearest restaraunt to the home office with really good chicken fried steak?

4: Why is golf a religion?

If you cant answer numbers 1 and 2, but know the answers to number three, and four, and still have the cookie jar on your hand, your trainmaster/road foreman material, maybe even district superintendent.

If your smart enough to let the cookie go, turn the jar upside down and shake the cookies out on a plate, and can answer numbers 1 and 2, without looking it up in the rulebook, but could care less about number 3 and 4, then your not qualified for management, and they force you into T&E service.

Stay Frosty,
Ed

LOL!
I always dump my cookies out of the jar and never put my "hairy" hand and arm in.
Here are my answers:

1: Why is a locomotive with two blown traction motors a bad order?
Because it doesnt work or operate correctly.

2: Which way is up?
/emote "Points finger towards sky"...

3: What is the nearest restaraunt to the home office with really good chicken fried steak?
Big Bubbas Grease Cantina is the closest with really good chicken fried steak.
Which btw, will raise your cholesterol, clog your artery and cause you to revert to eating tofu the rest of your life.

4: Why is golf a religion?
Because the more you play...the more you need to pray.

I had a test like that once.....

Q - What happens if you pu***he stick forward?

A - I don't know

Q - Cows get bigger. Next question, what happens if you pull back on the stick?

A - Ummm, cows get smaller?

Q - Good answer. Next question. Red light next to the button comes on, what do you do?

A - Push button.

Q - Good. Then what?

A - Umm grab the manual, look for a picture of button to see what it does.

Q - Say there's no picture, then what?

A - Scream like a chick?

Q - Good, you're getting the hang of this. Last question. All the switches and levers, what do they do?

A - Don't know. But if I flip one and it makes a sound or a sound goes away because of it, I 'll flip it back.

Q - Well, I see you're a qualified candidate, Congrats.
