an Headbutts Train. 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Reading (UK) has over 60 pubs and clubs within 1 mile of the Main Railway station, so it's envitable that alcohol and trains will eventually mix, so in the case of our classic friend year.
Having been ejected from a late opening pub directly opposite the station, our friend decides that he's had enough and heads home. The last rational decision of the evening. (I)Rationally deciding that the shortest route between two given points is a straight line he decides to cross six railway lines that run through the station. Halfway between platforms 4 and 5, he becomes aware of a light shining in his face. Assuming that it belongs to a security guard or transport Police he turns around to face the light and attempts to make a fight of it by headbutting his apprehender.
He immediately loses the fight, along with several major appendages. The light was not a torch, but the headlight of a 3,000 ton freight train passing through the station at 35 mph. Our friend barely escapes with with life, learning the hard way you just cannot headbutt a train and win.Submitted on 06/27/2002
