Little Johnny wanted a job as a signalman on therailway.
He was told to meet the inspector at the signal box.The inspector asked, "What would you do if yourealized that two trains were heading for each otheron the same track?"
Little Johnny replied, "I would switch the points forone of the trains."
"What if the lever broke?" asked the inspector.
"Then I'd dash down out of the signal box," said LittleJohnny, "and I'd use the manual lever over there."
"What if that had been struck by lightning?"
"Then," Little Johnny continued, "I'd run back into thesignal box and phone the next signal box."
"What if the phone was busy?"
"Well in that case," persevered Little Johnny, "I'd rushdown out of the box and use the public emergencyphone at the level crossing up there."
"What if that was vandalized?"
"Oh, well then I'd run into town and go get my Mother."
This puzzled the inspector, so he asked, "Why wouldyou do that?"
Little Johnny answered, "Well, Mom ain't never seen atrain wreck before!"
