Should I mention that I saw my G.P, today, Dr. Butcher?
There's an outfit that advertises laser eye surgery on the radio that sounds like the "Hurts a Guy institute". Not going there!

We had a new position created back when I was working with the railways (kinda a middle middle manager)- the guy they appointed, his last name was Deadwood which I thought was kind of appropriate...
Also has anyone had where they come in and change the names of positions without thinking about what they were doing?
Best one we had was when the Depot managers job title was changed
Depots werent called depots anymore
They were called Business Units
making the manager a
Business Unit Manager.....
(the shinies wondered for months why every time one of the tradies walked past his office they would start laughing...)

I plan to place this sign anywhere on the layout where something new is in the works. The guy and his company are slow to get things done sometimes but hopefully Bill Ding Construction will get in gear soon!

One of the local clubs here has a town named "Rock Ridge" and every business in it, is owned by a "Johnson"
Those that don't get it, "Rock Ridge" was the town in Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" and EVERYONE in the town has the last name "Johnson".
