Fate of the Children of LIRR

So, while Rack and I rode the Chicago Transit Authority on our way to meet NightSkye and Purge at O'Hare, he got into one of his goofy pseudo-intellectual spasms.

Rack: "Ah, but of course, to get to Penn Station, we all must change at Jamaica."
UIM: "Oh, good. That sounds like someone hired Metrocake to write fortunes for fortune cookies. 'If you journey towards Penn, you must change at Jamaica.' "

Well, any silly gag to beat to death when you are bored. I forget which of us was responsible for which - as we seemed to be sharing about half a brain at the time.

"Yea, though I walk through the Valley Stream of Death, I will fear no evil, for I must change at Jamaica."

"What is the sound of one hand changing at Jamaica?"

"For no man knows the day or the hour, only that he must change at Jamaica."

"You catch more flies with honey than you do by changing at Jamaica."

"For the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, especially when they change at Jamaica."

"When life gives you lemons, you must change at Jamaica."

"Frankly, my dear, I don't change at Jamaica."

"Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly changed at Jamaica for me."

"A train! A train! My kingdom to change at Jamaica!"

"You can't make an omelet without changing at Jamaica."

"To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to change at Jamaica, and by so opposing, end them."

"Oh, that this too too solid flesh would melt, and change at Jamaica."

"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day till the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to change at Jamaica."

"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's chai-ai-ai-ainging at Jamaica."
