Santa is applying for a job as a signalman for the local railroad and is told to meet the inspector at the signal box The inspector decides to give Santa a pop quiz asking: `What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading towards each other on the same track?` Santa says: `I would switch one train to another track ` `What if the lever broke?` asks the inspector `Then I`d run down to the tracks and use the manual lever down there` answers Santa `What if that had been struck by lightning?` challenges the inspector `Then ` Santa continued `I`d run back up here and use the phone to call the next signal box ` `What if the phone was busy?` `In that case ` Santa argued `I`d run to the street level and use the public phone near the station` `What if that had been vandalized?` `Oh well ` said Santa `in that case I would run into town and get my Uncle Bhalla` This puzzled the inspector so he asked `Why would you do that?` `Because he`s never seen a train accident `
