Why not...

Under advice from my lawyer, I am invoking my 5th Amendment right and refuse to answer that question on the grounds it may incriminate me. Blindfold

 No. Just doing a little experiment.

Must be a heavier question...4 units at the head end elephant-style.  I wonder if Mookie's was simply a "light question" move.  Someone better get a video of this up on YouTube soon.

'Cuz?

[Zug, yes, I'm trying to place nice.  Experiment away, we can all have some fun and stand a poke in the ribs.  But, honestly, the posts and threads that get locked are most often those of chest beating, heat, temper, rigidity, and generally they lack any attempt at humour and conciliation which would at least mitigate them a bit.  Habitually, and not at all coincidentally, it is most often the same five or six contributors who work assiduously to skirt the rules, or to defy them.  I wouldn't call it a clique so much as an informal group of likeminded and purposeful 'players' who enjoy the gamesmanship as much as, or more than, trying harder to formulate responses that manage to stay within the rules the way about 95% of the regulars here do. -CO]

No that will never do. It will stall out. Let’s get some ES44AC’s up on the head end.

The route just won't work. Too many bridges, tunnels, and concrete ties to throw in there. Besides, I think if we went for the ES's how'd we put in the caternaries?!

Alrighty, then.  I believe we've all had a chance to express our opinions about punctuation, and several other issues.  As proof, that you can't please all the people all the time, I'm going to drop the curtain on today's episodes of How the punctuation turns.  Please join us in some of the railroad related topics also found on our forums.  Thanks you.
