Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Moon FAIL!

Train drags German mooner half naked along tracks

BERLIN (Reuters) – A German man mooning at railway staff in a departing train got his trousers caught in a carriage door and ended up being dragged half naked along the platform, out of the station and onto the tracks.

The 22-year-old journalism student shoved his backside against the window of a low-slung double-decker train when staff forced him off in Lauenbrueck for travelling without a ticket, a spokesman for police in the northern city of Bremen said.

"It's a miracle he wasn't badly hurt," the spokesman said on Monday. "This sort of thing can end up killing you."

Instead, dangling by his trousers, the man got pulled along for about 200 metres, all the while managing to keep his legs away from the wheels of the train.

The ordeal ended when a passenger pulled the emergency brake. Rescues services were called in, causing rail services between Bremen and Hamburg to be suspended for over an hour, delaying 23 trains.

The man -- unharmed except for cuts and bruises -- now faces charges of dangerous interference in rail transport, insulting the train staff, and may face sizeable a compensation claim for the delays he caused, police said.

"He was full of remorse when I talked to him," the spokesman said. "And he advised others not to try the same thing."

I saw other pictures of Christina Hendricks and her boob weren't so prominent. Weird.

Wheel of morality, turn, turn turn and tell us the lesson that we must learn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Happy birthday Cashmere, Matt, megan, and not least of all, daddy dearest.

Lovely to see you in these parts dear married Dr. Nilly!

Off to work...yeah, not going to be used to that soon. I'm even wearing lipstick and earrings and a watch today. Perhaps too much too soon. We'll see.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy birthdays all 'round, and welcome back to the Intertubes, Dr. Mrs. Nilly!

Why is it that no matter how much I work, there's still just as much work to do, and no matter how many vacation days I take, I'm still just as exhausted as soon as I sit back down to work?

I did not have to have such a life lesson to learn not to moon trains.

I think the important lesson is, if you're going to moon a train, don't let your body come in contact with the train. Especially do not press your butt cheeks against the train's door.

Also, if you lay down fake train tracks that go into the side of a mountain and you paint a "tunnel" on the rock face, a real train might come out of your painted tunnel and run you over. But you wont' be killed, just made flat as a pancake.

(I learned this last lesson as a small child watching cartoons.)
