I read that a guy who had been drinking in Wetaskiwin to about 3 in the morning decided he couldn’t walk home for another 2 or 3 blocks. So he jumped on a slow moving frieght. But before he could jump off it had picked up speed and he couldn’t jump off. So he used his cell phone and made a few calls. I guess he caught hell from rail officials, rail police among others. He did say he wouldn’t do it again. I think he got fined pretty good and maybe got a couple of things that he got charged with. Too bad he had to go through this life experience to learn something of value.[D)]
I can see it now" Hey Jimmie man I am sooo wasted. No I dont need a ride from the bar I just neeed you to stop this train"Lucky the guy had a cell phone. He would have ben a drunkcicle if he would have had to ride it all the way to the next stop I am betting.
Your right about life lessons. at least he doesnt have to worry about how that wooden leg looks or how he will look in a pine box!

It seems like the guy is coming to terms with the seriousness of his mistake.
