Luckily, the QMOW was suspicious and refused. Upon contacting the tele- phone company we were informed that by pushing 90# you end up giving the individual that called you access to your telephone line and allows them to place a long distance telephone call, with the charge appearing on your telephone call.

We were further informed that this scam has been originating from many of the local jails/prisons. Please "pass the word".

Pride is what I have. Vanity is what others have.

I got to thinking, and remembered a movie called "Cantebra Crossing" or something like that a few years ago. It wasn't long before, every new apartment complex or strip shopping center that opened up, they named after the nearest street intersection and added "Crossing."

We have several here in our town, Harwood Crossing, Midway Crossing, etc. One of them is at the intersection og Main Street and Glade Road. They named it "Glade Crossing."

My wife and I started calling it "GRade CLossing", at the same time imitating a phony Japanese accent by interchanging the Rs and Ls in our speech.

If you are old enough to remember the WW II, You will recall a comic who called himself "Hari Kari," who imitated a Japanese officer in one of the war movies interrogating American POWs:

"Ah! So! AmeLican soRdieLs, you are suLpLised I speak youL Ranguage. You see I was educated in youL countLy, at U.C.'R'.A."

The Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma in 1843 were Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and Seminole.

Locomotive Engineer Raymond Holmes says he went to the airport one morning to catch an early flight. At about 8 o'clock, the pilot walked down the aisle and off the plane.

There was no further action, and so finally at 9:30 a.m., he asked one of the flight attendents when they could expect to take off.

She said, "The pilot didn't like the sound of one of the engines, so they're busy looking for another pilot."

T&P performed a masterful job of keeping "hush-hush" the failure of its Budd two-car streamlined train (dubbed "Silver Slipper") in 1933-34. Had it been a success, it would have scooped the Pioneer Zephyr and M-10000.

Not even T&P's annual reports mentioned the train. You would have at least expected a promotional build-up in at least one report before it was delivered. It also seems that T&P never actually bought the train. If they did, it was well buried in the financial statements.

Strange that it apparently operated so well in demonstration runs in the Philadelphia and Chicago areas! [The NORTH TEXAS ZEPHYR, newsletter of the North Texas Chapter NRHS, ran a two-part feature on this unique train complete with Budd specs and drawings.] -- Dennis Hogan, NTRHS

No, not at the Vega star system but in Vega, Texas. It seems that the T&P petitioned the ICC in the early 30's to charter a company, Texas & Pacific Northern, to construct a line from Sweetwater to Vega via Lubbock. At Vega the T&PN would have connected with the Rock Island. The ICC killed the idea, not the Depression. -- Dennis Hogan, NTRHS

There was a Christian lady who had to do a lot of traveling for her business. This required her to do a lot of flying. Flying made her nervous, so she always took her Bible along with her to read and it helped relax her.

One time, she was sitting next to a man. When he saw her pull out her Bible, he gave a little chuckle and went back to what he was doing. After awhile, he turned to her and asked, "You don't really believe all that stuff in there do you?"

The lady replied, "Of course I do. It is the Bible."

He said, "Well, what about that guy that was swallowed by that whale?"

She replied, "Oh, Jonah. Yes, I believe that, it is in the Bible."

He asked, "Well, how do you suppose he survived all that time inside the whale?"

The lady said, "Well, I don't really know. I guess when I get to heaven, I will ask him."

"What if he isn't in heaven?" the man asked sarcastically.

"Then you can ask him," replied the lady.

Okay, ladies, here is a male bashing joke:
