The High Speed Rail project between San Francisco and Los Angeles is now underway but the cost is rising. Before there was air shuttle service, the train was the preferred means of making this 800 mile trip. Leaving the Bay Area at midnight with a sleeper berth you could arrive L.A. refreshed in the morning. One night a Navy four striper raced to catch the midnight train just before it pulled out. With the conductor leading the way they entered a stateroom only to find it occupied by two women of a certain age. The train was full and the conductor was perspiring profusely when one of the ladies spoke up - "We're all mature adults - I'm sure we can work something out." Then the Captain said "Madam, I'm an officer of the United States Navy and a gentleman. The arrangement you propose is totally unacceptable - one of you must leave."
