Who was it that once said, ‘I get all the exercise I need being a pall bearer for my friends that exercise.’ Excuse the pall if I misspelled it.

Mark Twain and Chauncey Depew

I well remember my first walkman...

Apparently not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Darwin Award?? .... most likely not.
27 year old Obama voter probably already has grandkids.

VOTE DEMOCRAT

and stop women from being run down by Tea Party trains!

[Arrowhead1952]

Good gosh. I wear headphones on my walks and have the volume so low, I can hear an electric golf cart approaching. I am also blessed with exceptional hearing, after almost 40 years in the military. We always wore hearing protection when on the range, running generators, or around diesel engine equipment.

I bet that train was carrying “Fracked Crude” too!

[GeronL]

Willie Green wouldn’t blame the retrain

[GeronL]

You can feel the horns blaring usually

[Rodamala]

Hah. I instantly recognized that picture! Is that bad?

I was talking to an train engineer. He said people are aware that roads have traffic on them - they see it all the time, and are careful; starting off as little children.

But train tracks are different. Most people only encounter train tracks rarely. And when they do - they are almost always empty of trains. So there is not a perceived threat. The keyword of course being “almost”.

Looks like a classic case of allmänfarlig ödeläggelse.
