There once was a man who attempted to eat,
A steam locomotive, a gastronomical feat,
He first tried the boiler, then bit a rear wheel,
His teeth could not cut it, he could not bite steel,
When he lost his last tooth, his dining was through,
It was clear that he'd bit off, more than he could choo-choo.

Tim,
What a hoot to read. Yep, it's easy to bite off more that one can chew! This was a
pleasure to read!

LOL, if I didn't know better I would say you definitely had too much time on your hands. Very funny!

And here I thought you'd gone off fishing...while all you've done is chase trains. Good morning Sir...it's good to see you. Welcome home!

This reminds me of that old pun about Roy Rogers and Dale Evans...where Roy went out and bought a new pair of very expensive cowboy boots, went out to the barn in them, came back to the house, left the boots on the door step, got up the following morning and his boots were gone...found mountain lion tracks all over the place...got his gun, told Dale he was going after that damn cat...came back several hours later with the mountain lion draped over his horse, his boots all chewed up still in the mountain lion's mouth...Dale said, "Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes"...???
