Benny wanted a job as a signalman on the railroad.

At his interview, the inspector asked him this question, "What would you do if you saw 2 trains heading for each other on the SAME track?"

Benny replied, "I would switch the points for one of the trains."

"Good. But what if the lever broke?" asked the inspector.

"Then I'd run down to the signal box," said Benny, "and use the manual lever there."

"What if lightining struck it?" asked the inspector.

"Then..." Benny continued, "I'd run back to the signal box & phone the next signal box."

"What is the phone was engaged?"

"Well.....in that case," persevered Benny, "I'd rush down out of the box & use the public emergency phone at the level of the crossing up there..."

"What would you do if that were vandalized?"

"Oh, well then I'd run to the village & get my uncle Toby."

This bizarre response puzzled the inspector, so he asked, " And just why would you do that?"

"Because Uncle Toby...He's never seen a train wreck before!"
