10/26/05 Grif.Net - Going to the Funeral

[Dr Bob Griffin]

I mentioned last week that poor Ole had died and left Lena alone. She had
never done much on her own but wanted to have the funeral up in Fargo. So
Lena called the airlines information desk and inquired, "How long does
it take to fly from Minneapolis to Fargo?"

"Just a minute," said the busy clerk.

"Well," said Lena, "if it has to go that fast, I think I'll just take the
train."

So Lena asked Irene to go with her on the train to Ole's hometown for the
funeral. It was an exciting first trip of the Empire Builder train. To save
some money and not eat in the club car, the ladies brought along bananas for
lunch. Just as they began to peel them, the train entered a long, dark
tunnel.

"Have you eaten your banana yet?" Lena asked excitedly.

No," replied Irene.

"Well, don't touch it then," Lena exclaimed. "I just took one bite and
went blind!"
