I saw a train coming for me one time when I was walking my parrot on the tracks for a shortcut. Luckily, I am not an idiot and I was able to avoid being struck by it. However, I did poop myself because of the close call and the fright it stirred in my soul. I will take a soiled pair of jeans over 18 broken bones though.

OMG! Please remove your ipod while walking on the railroad tracks. Or, here's an idea, stay off the f'n RxR tracks!
