Comments on: Trainspotting? Man Jumps from Train, then Sues https://www.overlawyered.com/2008/08/trainspotting-man-jumps-from-train-then-sues/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:44:52 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dusty L. https://www.overlawyered.com/2008/08/trainspotting-man-jumps-from-train-then-sues/comment-page-1/#comment-27964 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:44:52 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=7458#comment-27964 It says “jumped from the train”, however it wasn’t moving anymore it was parked in the train yard. ( which makes jumping while you don’t see the ground even more idiotic! )

I was going to offer up such a suggestion. It doesn’t change the fact that only a jack-ass jumps from a moving train and tries to cash in on it. Something about trains and their juggernaut-like power being one of the few things in life that is aptly accepted as innate knowledge. Dog’s showing their teeth for example; one of those things you don’t need to be taught to avoid – just like moving trains. Both will always win.

Or should it travel by another name?”

Sounds rather like sangria to me.

Mexican food restaurants should be automatically allowed to sell tequilla and pizza joints should be able to sell beer. Burritos without a margarita are like, well, pizza without beer. Wrong.

Or should it travel by another name? This must be one of those concoctions found only in states with archaic blue-laws.

That’s how they do it when they can’t sell hard liquor.
