Interesting ad on the part of the U.P. They would do well to produce more of them along this theme. Kinda brings the RR down to a more personal level.

So a machinist for the UP ONLY WORKS 34 seconds a day? I need a gig like that

That's still not a good a job as the kid that wanted to be a garbage collector because they only work one day a week.
