Trout Brook Bridge - Official Work Thread

[Ed Lecuyer]

Oh, don't worry; it's inevitable that part of this thread will end up getting flooded with bridge and water puns.
But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

As a frustrated Charlie Brown would finally lament..."I can't stand it!"

A New Hampshire Bridge over a Maine Brook..

[Paul Uhland]

Must be part of the just-started New England Share A Bridge Program.
Wonderful! 

[Alex Harvilchuck]

Make that a big skillet and a lot of lemons.  Mooses are big animals.  Or is that meeses?

I was assuming that the Trout genes were dominant, so the size would be small, but the horns would be a pain to deal with...

I truss that you have an angle on this subject. I'm beaming with anticipation.

Oh no........ now it begins......... I have never seen such a clever group of railroad enthusiasts.....

It keeps the forum lively. Careful though, compliments like that will cause a boil over into a steaming pile of puns. Just don't rake me over the coals for adding fuel to the fire.

Warning; sometimes it does sometimes get the moderator steaming.

Hence why 2 puns per week is my limit. Don't want the mods throwing ballast at me.

[Ira Schreiber]

If you limit to just two puns per week,

And as the Brits would say 'Mind the gap'.
