The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, doing business as Amtrak (reporting mark AMTK), is a government-owned corporation that was organized on May 1, 1971, to provide intercity passenger train service in the United States. All of Amtrak's preferred stock is owned by the U.S. federal government.
Also I think I've read that the only portion of Amtrak's service that is profitable is the Boston-DC line, and they make their monies on us to subsidize train travel in the rest of the country.
Thanks for the well wishes but I definitely spoke too soon. I took enough oxycodone last night to kill an elephant because my shoulder hurt so bad. No idea what happened after that but now I'm pissing Gatorade orangish/red, my ribs are killing me, and it looks like there is a golf ball coming out of my collar bone. I must have taken a bit of a tumble at some point so I guess I have to go back to the hospital tonight but I'm going to wait until like 2 am when it's less crowded.
What is the proper method to disengage when you start into saying "that's what SHE said....." and realize that you've chosen an inappropriate audience for that particular comment? I went with "pretending to choke".

It's called "Intervention"
"I tell all kids not to use that word. If they're 29 and they win the World Series, I think they can say that.
But I definitely would say to all the kids out there, 'Kids, it's a bad word. Don't say it. And I'm dead serious.' "
