Job interview.

Jim wanted a job as a signalman on the railways.

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

Jim said: "I would put all signals to danger"

"What if they were going too fast?", asked the inspector.

Jim said," I would switch the points for one of the trains."

"What if the lever broke?", asked the inspector.

"Then I'd dash down the signal box steps waving a red flag", said Jim.

"What if it blew away in the wind?" asked the inspector.

"Then I'd run back into signal box & phone the next signal box."

"What if the phone was engaged?"

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

"What would you do if THAT was vandalized?"

"Oh well, then I'd run into the village & get my Uncle Harry."

This puzzled the Inspector, so he asked, "Why would you do that?"

"Because he's never seen a train crash!!"
