Train Attendant
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't get enough funny stories in my life, so I'd like to hear any of yours. :lol:
There used to be a joke in Russia about a KGB guy walking into a bar. He asks another guy, "tell me, what do you think of our glorious leader, Comrade Brezhznev?"Well, I will give a try. Not a ha, ha funny, but it brought a smile to my face. About 4 years ago we were on an adventure on The Zephyr, west of Denver. We headed to the dinning car for lunch, and were fortunate enough to be seated with a young couple from Russia. A fun experience by the way. As our server was taking our orders, mixed with a little small talk about our countries, and somehow a comment was made mentioning our government leaders being less than stellar. Something we Americans take for granted being able to say. The Russian man quietly agreed that most officials are less than perfect, then automatically snapped his head around to see if anyone was listening to our conversation. His young wife grabbed his arm, and they both became very red faced. We mentioned they had nothing to worry about, and that this type of talk is pretty much a national hobby. But it did make me smile to realize, how different this country is.
O.K. Now I did chuckle.4 years after the event!There used to be a joke in Russia about a KGB guy walking into a bar.

The man is surprised by the question, "well, the same as you I guess".
"In that case I must arrest you."

I heard that a couple of times on the SL westbound last week!It's not actually a funny story, but the Conductors on the Sunset Ltd. used to announce @ stops : " Be sure and stay trainside. If you get left behind, next Train is in Three Days!"
Good one Triley, on the Texas Eagle we call the Veggie Burger when ordered with Bacon and Cheese "The Cheater Burger!"Not a funny story, but a funny one liner. One from working a cafe today in fact!
"Is there meat in the cheeseburger?" I held it together until after she left.
