I came within an ace of posting this one in Humor, it is that lame.
Optomists are the bane of civilization and here's one example of why:
quote:
MONTCLAIR, Calif. - In a confrontation reminiscent of the Wild West, police shot and wounded a man who allegedly took over a freight train with a bow and arrow.
Juventino Vallejo-Camerena boarded the Union Pacific train Sunday night as it was stopped for a signal and threatened the engineer and conductor, the only people on board, police Capt. Keith Jones said.
The crew members escaped and disabled the train by turning off fuel switches, then used a cell phone to call police, Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said.
It takes optomism above and beyond the call of stupidity to think that hiesting a west-bound freight with a bow has any chance of success.
Y'see, optomists don't believe in Murphy's Law. Optomists fail to realize that Murphy's Law is the basic and most profound Law of the universe and cannot be denied with impunity. Murphy's Law knows no boundries, no preferences, as folk ranging in status from peasants to kings, to presidents and all on their minions have discovered to their sorrow.
Juventino must have had some purpose in mind, but for the life of me I can't think of what to do with a 71 car train, nor even of some place to hide it whilst figuring it out.
Optomists!
