The Research Grant

A small rural town had one of the highest birth rates in the country and
this phenomenon attracted the attention of the sociologists at the state
university. So, they wrote a grant proposal; got a huge chunk of
money; moved to town; set up their computers; got squared away; and
began designing their questionnaires and such.

While the staff was busy getting ready for their big research effort,
the project director decided to go to the local diner for a cup of
coffee. He sat down at the counter, ordered his coffee, and while he was
drinking it, he told the owner what his purpose was in town, then asked
him if he had any idea why the birth rate was so high.

"Sure," said the owner of the diner. "Every morning the six o'clock
train comes through here and blows for the crossing. It wakes everybody
up, and, well, it's too late to go back to sleep, and it's too early to
get up."
