My two favorite CW songs:My wife ran off with my best friend, and I really miss him.I bought a car from the guy who stole my girl, but it doesn’t run, so I guess we’re even.

It depends on where Train A and B are in relationship to each other. If they are headed away from each other, ok; if they are headed toward each other, ain’t nobody coming back.

This could be a new genre of country music, so far its all about pickup trucks, dogs, cheating hearts, and your d-i-v-o-r-c-e is whatever.

In answer to Caulfield’s first question: it’s because most of the story problems in math textbooks were writtin in the 1940s, when trains were the primary means of travel. Some texts have tried to update the problems to use cars or airplanes, but they never seem to work as well….

Speaking of train imagery, there’s also Hitchcock’s use in “North By Northwest,” but that’s a whole ’nother train of thought.
