    DS>   I have a picture over here of an emaciated, malnourished, porker...   
    DS> where you could see his ribs. It was a piggy bank woefully low on   
    DS> money.    
      
    DL> Yep. Just read a story about another porker from Oklahoma City who   
    DL> refused to wear a mask into a shoe store...assaulted the employees &   
    DL> left screaming. Just like when Bart/Lisa headed to summer camp...kept   
    DL> saying "Not Oklahoma" in a chant & when I found out that's where it   
    DL> was..."D'oh". Fortunately...being the Okie rocket scientist it   
    DL> was...left her license & such on the counter for the employee to give   
    DL> to the police.   
      
     That's like the guy who holds up the bank in his work uniform, and   
   uses the back of his deposit ticket as a stick-up note.    
      
    DL> Have to work this evening...but at least that will give me a smile &   
    DL> something to talk about.   
      
     There is so little to laugh at nowadays. I saw 2 hilarious files in   
   the D-Star Trains And Railroads Net Facebook Group that I moderate. I   
   am also the Net Control (Conductor) for that net, which meets on the   
   QuadNet Array every Friday at 8pm Eastern Time, on the amateur radio   
   modes of D-Star, DMR, WIRES, and System Fusion...plus taking checkins   
   on the mode of D-Rats. There is a railroad trivia question, and those   
   checking in for the first time, can request a commemorative certificate   
   via email.   
      
     Anyway, the files were these, which I've put in the files area on the   
   BBS for Verified Users.   
      
   badstrun.png -- When Street Running Goes Bad. While not that common as   
   it once was, there are some areas where the railroad tracks go right   
   down a busy city street. It's known as "street running". The photo   
   shows a single diesel locomotive, running "engine light" (with no   
   other cars). The traffic signal is red, but he's moving. The meme   
   notes that the engineer said to the police officer that "the light   
   was yellow when I entered the intersection".    
      
   redblock.png -- a colorful pair of shorts or a bathing suit, with    
   what looked like a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) locomotive   
   on the front, and the words "STOP LOOKING AT MY TRAIN!!".    
      
     I roared with laughter, especially on the second one.
