Ahem. Now that I've got your attention.
Y'all know that Ol' Haggis's got himself some shares in that there railroad. Occasionally he fancies a bit of steam travel when he's stocking up on supplies. On the last trip he bought a whole heap of stuff, includin' an ironing board. (He left the bathtub 'cos bathing for sissies.)
The train was pretty full, so Haggis had to share a compartment with five other people. Fortunately, one of 'em was a fine, pretty lady - or she would have been if it weren't for the yellow crochet thing on her head - but Haggis ain't one to get hooked up on the details.
He chatted her up for a couple of hours before it got dark and everyone got into their bunks for the night. The pretty lady had the top bunk on one side and Haggis had the top bunk on the other. He tucked the ironing boad along one side of the bunk. Him an' the pretty lady kept up their banter until Haggis had an idea.
Haggis: Whyn't you git your pretty li'l britches over here?
KLM: Tee hee. How'm I gonna do that?
Haggis: Well, I've got something here. It's long an' it's hard an' you can climb across it.
KLM: Tee hee.
From the darkness below, a slightly acidic voice rang out. "Oh yeah? Then how's the li'l lady gonna be gettin' back after?"
