MAN SLEPT WHILE TRAIN PASSED OVER HIM

Police say an eastern Indiana man tried to go back to sleep on railroad tracks after a conductor woke him to tell him he had been struck by a train. A Norfolk Southern train crew reported 30-year-old Josh Napier of Richmond was asleep on the tracks when the train passed over him Saturday night. When the conductor awoke Napier, the man put his head back down on the tracks to continue sleeping. Napier was carried by police and firefighters to an ambulance. He was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
* Okay, even by wacky news standards this is crazy.
* How does this work: “Gee, I need a nap. Is there a train track around here?”
* Maybe it was a suicide attempt but he was just too lazy to stay awake for it.
* What does he use for an alarm clock? A box of dynamite?
* This could be a new version of the Johnny Cash song: “I DON’T hear the train a’comin …”
* Perhaps his need for sleep is being assisted by one of our many fine pharmaceutical products.
* Oh well, maybe he can get a mattress endorsement deal out of it.
