[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes</i> <br /><br />I thought about making a new thread and calling it, "I was an idiot today" but decided nobody would post there but me. [;)] [B)] [}:)] <br /> <br />Today I went to the UP Open House. I finished shooting one role of film and even took pics and finished another roll of film while there. On the way home I noticed a train. It was behind me so I couldn't get its loco number. I drove ahead and found a place where I could sit and watch the train. I parked near a curve and had wanted to take a pic from that location so I got out the camera and waited for the train. When the train came around the corner I was ready and just as it got to a good spot I clicked the button. Nothing happened. So I tried one more time. I had finished the roll but didn't want to change the rolls in the bright sunlight and was waiting till I got home to change it. Now the engines were past me and I didn't even get their numbers. So I had to drive somewhere else to get at least one engine number. Not only is that a bummer to happen it sure makes you feel stupid. [B)] [:0] [:(] <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That reminded me of a Far Side cartoon. <br /> <br />The lady is standing in the cartoon with her arm around an ailen, then the husband is standing there with his camera wide open exposing the film, then the husband is standing there saying, "Yeah, that camera's loaded." <br /> <br />[:D][:)][:D] <br /> <br />That Gary Larson was hilarious.
