Bill's Notes

[Industrialblog, September 13, 2004]
Ignore this post


"Lyndon Johnson used to tell about this dim-witted boy down in Texas who decided that he wanted to work on the railroad. He went down to the station in town, and the stationmaster said to him, suppose there is a train coming down from San Antonio and another train coming up from McAllen, and it was a single track, what would you do? The boy looked at the stationmaster and said, I would run and get my brother. And the stationmaster looks puzzled and said, you would run and get your brother? Why is that? The boy says, because my brother's never seen a train wreck."

James R. Schlesinger, former Secretary of Defense.
