The pole is innocent

Posted in Odd news by Ray Dixon on 27 February, 2009

I don’t wish to make light of this person’s injuries, but the pedant in me compels me to correct the Herald Sun’s opening statement to this story

A MAN suffered life threatening injuries when he was hit by a signal pole after putting his head out of a train window this afternoon.

I’m not sure how a static object like a pole could actually hit someone … unless it fell on them. He hit the pole, surely.

    Well, a bit of light relief between all the ‘doom & gloom’ is needed now and then, Baldrick. Just like the post I wrote on Pirate pants.

    I guess the guy who “hit the pole” doesn’t think it’s light relief though.

    Yeah, I hope he’s okay, silly thing to do though.

    Apparently we has spraying grafitti inside the carriage and stuck his head out to get away from the paint fumes. Maybe he should have just stuck to chroming.

    Maybe we should send the scumbag up to Bright to destroy your town.
