A Witty Telegram...

My father was an inspector on the railway and he had this story. It happened somewhere on what used to be the Great Southern Railway. I don't know where exactly but my father had it anyway. There was an engine driver named Gilligan and his engine came off the rails. They worked hard to get it back on in time before the next train came around. He sent a telegram to head office reporting the accident...

"Off again. On again. Gone again. Gilligan."

They were laughing at it of course.
