QUOTE: Originally posted by Tracklayer I have a buddy named Steve that is one of the biggest misers in the world... I took him model train shopping with me a while back, and after looking at the prices on some of the locos and rolling stock, he said - You know, I think that these train manufacturers are coating these model train items with some kind of an addictive chemical that's absorbed through the skin, but that wears off after a little while causing you to come back in here and buy more stuff so you can get another fix and continue the vicious cycle... At first, it struck me as really funny, then I started to kind of worrying about the guy because he never laughed. He's also the guy that said he suspects aliens abducted Jimmy Hoffa... Just thought you might get a laugh out of it. Tracklayer [:D]
