![]() ![]() ![]() Well, I was only going Son, son, now come on. You're no longer in that particular school in case you've forgotten what happened.ĭarling, please don't start on that again. They let me have chocolate in my milk at school. You want a peanut, too? Now, now, no chocolate tonight, son. You want some chocolate in it? Just plain. I'll get you a nice glass of milk right away, cowboy. How about a nice warm glass of milk, Johnny? How about a peanut? Now, son, please don't shoot peanuts in the club car, I told you that. Templeton and bourbon for me with a little water on the side. Well, what'll it be, Mother? Hmm? Scotch on the rocks. I'm sure it's that next car, right over there.įaster, partner! We interrupt our program with a late bulletin from our news bureau: The patient who escaped two days ago from the state mental hospital has been reported in the area of San Lucerno: San Lucerno? Due to the extreme weather conditions, however, the police expect to apprehend the patient shortly: We now::: Well, what'll you have, Johnny? Didn't we stop at San Lucerno tonight? That's a fact. Now, you just stop your horsing around until we get to the club car or you're going right to bed. Johnny! Johnny, you mustn't go around shooting people in the corridors.īang! Oh! Son! Son, you're making your mother very nervous. Johnny, please, son, listen to your father just once on this trip. Help! Let me go! Mommy! Johnny, you've got to stop shooting Indians. Keeping to the theme of tonight's program, I must warn you that before you get a look at the pleasant scenery, we must first pass through one of those dismal tunnels. That should give us just enough time to watch a half hour television show. There isn't another train scheduled to pass for 30 minutes. I have the last laugh however, for I see by a footnote that the train he expected would trisect me runs only on the Friday preceding Decoration Day and the Tuesday following Labor Day except on leap year. You see, my assailant was a railroad executive, who took exception to some of my remarks about the promptness of trains. In order to keep the railroad tires from chaffing my hips he put me on an anthill.Īnd in the event I wanted to do some reading, he left me a railroad timetable. The gentleman who tied me here was most thoughtful. But after the job's completed, it's anyone's guess what will happen, leading to a twist at the end.I think this proves that in some areas the airplane can never replace the train. As long as the truce is in effect, the engineer doesn't have to fear the associate killing him, and he'll continue to do his work. ![]() The two agree to a truce, albeit a temporary one, till the job is completed. Suspecting the new arrival from America and fearing for his life, the engineer tries to make a quick exit, but the financiers' associate walks in brandishing a gun. That night, the engineer hears a news report on the radio regarding the murder of a building project official in southern California, allegedly committed by a man who has fled to Mexico. With no options for at least 5-6 weeks, the engineer reluctantly agrees to continue the work. The man's plan? Have the financier drive off right away leaving the engineer, as well as the financier's associate, stuck at the mine. With the mine needing only five more weeks of drilling and his project engineer on the verge of quitting, the desperate financier has run out of options and asks his associate to help make the engineer stay. The other man is supposedly an associate of his. Unexpectedly, a car pulls up with two occupants. A failing mining operation in the Mexican hills has claimed its latest 'victim' the American project engineer is fed up with cave-ins and other recurring problems. ![]()
