Any SF fans recall a short story entitled "A Subway Named Moebius"

[PCIntern]

from Groff Conklin's first Omnibus of Science Fiction?

A subway train disappears on the Boston tracks. Occasionally people can hear the train and signals can change but it doesn't appear anywhere. The narrator spends the story searching for the train - one of the funniest lines is (paraphrasing):

Physicist: The train may have hit a node and vanished.

Maintenance Chief: We don't leave no nodes lying on the tracks.

It is coincidence - or is it - that the only professor in Boston who could fully comprehend this situation is, of course, on the train.

Anyway, the narrator gives up, gets on a train weeks later and finds out that he's on it and that it's reappeared. The professor may be on another train...and THAT one has disappeared!

So: who was on that plane?

1. A narrator and a physicist walk into plane's bar.

One orders a martini and the other orders a Pernod on the rocks. The maintenance bartenders says, "We don't leave no Pernods on the rocks. Only straight up for this plane."

Oh, and to answer your question, I'll give the traditional answer. The one with the biggest tits.

3. Yes..that's it...

great story...and plausible enough to seem almost real.

Great writing...

thanks! I have the Omnibus but hesitate to read it because it is in near-perfect condition and worth some money in that state. My old one bit the dust years ago.
