12 Days of Christmas

[Anonymous]

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my railroad gave
to me:
Twelve P.O.'ed crews, all stuck away from home;
Eleven lazy pool engineers, all laid off sick;
Ten misroutes, that have to be setout at the nearest
side track;
Nine cars on the ground, dragged through the ties and
two switches;
Eight broken crossings that need to be flagged;
Seven broken rails to keep it entertaining;
Six slow orders, for ten miles an hour;
Five Form D's;
Four railroad managers hiding in the weeds;
Three lousy Yardmasters ducking behind a window sill;
Two grouchy dispatchers with trains in every hole;
and one junk freight with zero point two horsepower
per ton.

Have fun: Chris.

Well guys, you know what they say. "You haul freight with the railroad you have, not the one you want".

(I don't say that. "They" say that. Hang on to your sense of humor, it helps a little.)

Hey Bubba, you got gypped -- there's 12 days to Christmas.

That's yours too?
Yea!

Twelve-pack of Bud


Eleven Wrastling tickets



Ten o' Copenhagen




Nine years probation




Eight table dancers




Seven packs of Redman




Six cans of Spam




Five flannel shirts

... And some parts to a Mustang GT.



Man, this ain't normal Christmas presents!
No, they're redneck gifts!
Redneck gifts?
Yea, you know, like
if you buy your wife earrings that double as fishing lures.
Or, if you can burp the entire chorus of "Jingle Bells"
Perhaps if you think "The Nutcracker" is something you did off a high-dive.
Or, if you've ever misspelled something in Christmas lights.
Or, if you leave cold beer and pickled eggs for Santa Claus.

What's wrong with that?
I didn't say anything wrong with it...
It's hard to beat...

Well, you can't really consider it a Christmas
'less you go down to the penitentiary and visit your mama.
You're not listenin' to me!
Get the car key outta your ear.
That's where the nine years probation comes in...
I'm gonna do it for ya again.
Now listen...

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the kitchen;
I was cooking and baking and moanin and bitchin.
I've been here for hours, I cant stop to rest.
This room's a disaster, just look at this mess!


Tomorrow I've got thirty people to feed.
They expect all the trimmings. Who cares what I need!
My feet are both blistered, I've got cramps in my legs.
The cat just knocked over a bowl full of eggs.


There's a knock at the door and the telephones ringing;
frosting drips on the counter as the microwaves dinging.
Two pies in the oven, desserts almost done;
my cookbook is soiled with butter and crumbs.
I've had alI I can stand, I can't take anymore;
Then in walks my husband, spilling rum on the floor.


He weaves and he wobbles, his balance unsteady;
then grins as he chuckles "The eggnog is ready!"
He looks all around and with total regret,
says "What's taking so long....aren't you through in here yet?"


As quick as a flash I reach for a knife;
He loses an earlobe; I wanted his life!
He flees from the room in terror and pain
and screams "MY GOD WOMAN, YOU'RE GOING INSANE !!"


Now what was I doing, and what is that smell?
Oh damn, it's the pies !! They're burned all to hell
I hate to admit when I make a mistake,
but I put them on BROIL instead of on BAKE.
What else can go wrong ?? Is there still more ahead?
If this is good living, I'd rather be dead.


Lord, don't get me wrong, I love holidays;
It just leaves me exhausted, all shaky and dazed.
But I promise you one thing, If I live till next year,
You wont find me pulling my hair out in here.
I'll hire a maid, a cook, and a waiter;
and if that doesn't work, I'LL HAVE IT ALL CATERED!!!

Zardoz! I think you just spoke for many, many women!

Thanx for the bright spot!

Speaking from hard experience, The cost of that bright spot and the peace it brings is worth every dime of it.
