Shocked On second thought, I don't need a light...

Man clipped by train after lighting cigarette

BENTON, Ill. - A southern Illinois man will probably pay more attention the next time he lights a cigarette near railroad tracks. Authorities said 25-year-old Brandon Robles escaped serious injury early Sunday when he was clipped by a passing Union Pacific train when he stopped near the tracks for a smoke.

Workers on the train told authorities they thought they'd hit a man, launching a search that included dogs. But nobody was found.

Robles had managed to walk home, only to call emergency dispatchers hours later to report that he couldn't get out of bed. He was treated at a hospital.

Robles told investigators he'd been drinking heavily and saw the train approaching when he stopped at the tracks for a cigarette.

Hope he went to play the lottery afterwards... when you get hit by a train and walk away, your luck is running strong...

No need to comment about alcohol being involved. You could kind of guess it was either that or a "Hey, y'all... watch this!"

Now see, that is something you go and brag to your girlfriend/wife etc. about.

You don't got telling the ladies that you had some teeth knocked out by a fish.
