USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries, and a drink.
He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.
He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.... As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering.
Obviously they were thinking, “That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.”
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine; they always shared everything.
People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman replied, “No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.”
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked, “What is it you are waiting for?”

So a collector goes into an Asian coin shop and ask the owner if he has any CC coins for sale.
The owner replied yes we have CC coins for sale and asks the collector what type of CC coins is he looking for:
1. A Carson City coin or
2. A Canton China coin?

There is a signalman up in Shasta County, California. He really wants to get a promotion, so he sends a letter to Union Pacific, and they send up an assessor.
He asks him what he would do if two trains were barreling down a track at each other.
The signalman says he would out one train on a passing loop.
"But what if the points are jammed?"
"I would throw the emergency switch"
"But what if the switch is on fire?"
"I would run out and use the lever on the line to switch the train into the passing loop."
"But what if it was struck by lightning?"
"Then I'd get my uncle Frank."
"Why?"
"He's never seen a train crash!”
