@parados,
I had "The coq au vin will be a little tardy, there's a derail in the Bronx."
Beat me to it parados.

Seriously? First you book a restaurant car but say you get travel sick; and now you want gluten free bread?

@Blickers,

Now that you have me blindfolded, and my hands tied behind my back, what's the need for a gun against my head? Honest, my memory isn't that good. I still can't remember the last line.

I know you proposed to me on the train, and this is our 50th anniversary, but is this really necessary?

It's all fast food, meant to rumble through the tummy at high speed.

For some reason Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor of the New Yorker is out-sourcing the contest judging to mere mortals like me.
You get about 40 versions of a cartoon and are asked to vote it UNFUNNY, SOMEWHAT FUNNY and FUNNY.

The latest one was a castaway disappearing into a whale's mouth on a desert island.
Some of the captions were just terrible and I ended up voting just one: FUNNY.
This has turned into a real chore.

If this table isn't far enough away from the noise of the kitchen, let me know.

With the Northbound Local, I would recommend the boeuf bourguignon.

Sorry, but notoriously poor tippers get the business around here.
