I haven't been to the forums in a couple of weeks, and look what's number 1!

But, just for the heck of it [:)]:
So I guess that now we can't take Jordan Spreaders on airplanes?
Do you have to get permits to railfan them?
Should we duck tape our locomotive windows?

See you around the forums,

A mine field is nothing compared to a Jordan field--I hope they don't try to spread any Jordans around here!

Nahhh, they don't particularly bother, groundings are much more efficient HA HA HA . . .

"There is nothing in life that compares with running a locomotive at 80-plus mph with the windows open, the traction motors screaming, the air horns fighting the rush of incoming air to make any sound at all, automobiles on adjacent highways trying and failing to catch up with you, and the unmistakable presence of raw power. You ride with fear in the pit of your stomach knowing you do not really have control of this beast." - D.C. Battle [Trains 10/2002 issue, p74.]

Sensor saw "snow fighter" - Sensor would not know what a Jordan spreader is, even if it runs over him and plows him into the real estate.

That's why the UN inspectors couldn't find the WMDs in Iraq. They were hidden on railroads all over North America.[;)]
