I was going to work one day, and a freight train crossing the CNW tracks outside Des Plaines derailed. They had to bus us around the problem. The platforms in Des Plaines were jammed, and we all had to wait 90 min. in sub-zero weather. There was a goof from my train stop that worked in the CNW tower, and NEVER wore a coat. I'm sure he regretted that decision.

I also like the one where they descended upon a band nobody knew. They filled the show, knew the words to all their songs after downloading them from their website, fake band-name tatoos... too funny.

I think a band could pull off a MILLI-VANILLI stunt just for laughs in a club . ...band freezes...music continues...... This is fun stuff. ,Thanx
