Who did the cartoon of the St. Louie-built PCC with the sadistically 
grinning motorman speeding along as Charlie is reaching for his sandwich? 
I've seen that before and it always brings a smile to my face.

P.S.- Like in the movie version of the "Poseidon Adventure".....had Leslie 
Neilsen's character performed his duties as "Master After God" while at sea 
and had one of his officers slap the owner's representative in the brig for 
the duration of the voyage, the ship would have been properly ballasted and 
probably wouldn't have been capsized.......but then we'd wouldn't have had a 
story.
