Bobo
I once heard a story about a railroad
crew that befriended a monkey named
Bobo.

The railroaders would play with Bobo
and feed him and really treat him nice.
In fact, they taught the monkey to give
hand signals and run the engine and to
even read a switch list and switch out
the cars.

Soon Bobo got to be so good at it that the
guys would let the monkey do their
work while they went fishing.

One day Trainmaster Hayes caught the
guys fishing while Bobo was doing the
work. All of the railroaders got
fired on the spot.

A couple of months later the railroaders
got a letter from the company. It was a
great flowery piece and reinstated all of
the
railroaders to their former positions
with all back pay.









It was signed
by
Trainmaster Bobo!
