sunbeam.20 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jethro (named after Jethro Bodine, from the Clampett Clan) was the latest addition to the staff on the railway system of the island of Sodor. He was brought in to modernise the railway, in an attempt to rationalise the number of locomotives by reducing the number of (dumb-@ss?) steam locomotives, with a view to improving the financial viability of the system. Jethro was available cheap, due the fact he had been damaged by the cost cutting measures of a British Petroleum company. The British Petroleum company had on their hands a contaminated batch of jet fuel, which instead of being refined to remove impurities, had been re-blended to create diesel. Unfortunately this played havoc with Jethro’s injectors, with the result that he had dual personalities. Half the time he thought he was a F 14 Tomcat, piloted by Captain Craig, the other half he considered himself to be a F1 Ferrari, piloted by Nigel Mansell. At least he never runs late!

RJS1977 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If he thought he was an F1 Ferrari driven by Nigel Mansell, does it mean his gearbox failed every two weeks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbeam.20 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 I wonder if Ringo would be able to provide an appropriate voice. I can not visualise this, would Frank Spencer be better? Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
