Three lawyers and three Engineers are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three lawyers each buy tickets and watch as the three Engineers buy only a single ticket.

"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a lawyer.

"Watch and you'll see," answers an Engineer.

They all board the train. The lawyers take their respective seats but all three Engineers cram into a toilet and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The lawyers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So (recognizing the Engineers' superior intellect) after the conference, the lawyers decide to copy the Engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Engineers don't buy a ticket at all.

"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed lawyer.

"Watch and you'll see," answers an Engineer.

When they board the train the three lawyers cram into a toilet. The three Engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

Shortly afterward, one of the Engineers leaves his toilet and walks over to the toilet where the lawyers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

Speaking of Bob Dylan, here's his ad for Victoria's Secret.

The cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun
Though its glow is waxed in black
All except when 'neath the trees of Eden.

There's a wonderful interview with Bob Dylan in the LA Times. He talks about songwriting and how he does it.

"You can go anywhere in daily life and have your ears open and hear something, either something someone says to you or something you hear across the room. If it has resonance, you can use it in a song."

"Robert Johnson would sing some song and out of nowhere there would be some kind of Confucius saying that would make you go, 'Wow, where did that come from?' It's important to always turn things around in some fashion."

Bill Tapia is a ukulele player, still going strong at 96 years old. As a boy in Oahu, he lived across the road from the Portugese man who invented the ukulele and bought his first uke from him. Bill played at the 1927 opening of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and also at the 75th anniversary - the only person to be at both events. There's a touching story in the LA Times. Bill Tapia will be a featured performer at Uke Fest West later this month in Santa Cruz. It will be wonderful to hear him play.
