Tom;-
     I agree that one is a hoax. But this on is the truth: if you
stand on a railroad track at night, and wave your arms at the
headlights of an oncoming train---never leaving the tracks---the
train will stop just short of you and the Engineer will come down and
give two airline tickets good anywhere in the USA, Upper Volta, or
China.
   (and they laughed at flying pigs---pshaa!)
