Junkie clocks out on wet train steps

CityRail and the State Rail Authority should be expecting some kind of law suit in the next few days.

It was raining this morning, on the first day of Paralympic competition, and as you would expect, the place was drenched in the wet stuff. Everyone huddled together on the platform of the station. I caught a taste of my own breath and nearly choked. I noticed also on the platform, a wigged out junkie. The floor of the car was puddled with the rainwater of the early morning commute. No sooner had I sat down ready to let my umbrella drip into the seat then I hear a soft squeak followed by a dull thud. I turned around and who do I see but the phased lady flat on her arse half-way down the steps. Gathering the names and details of three witnesses she seems set to sue. It happened on Thursday, 19 October 2000 at 09:25, she was a caucasian female in her early thirties and reportedly 3-4 months pregnant.

If you read this in the paper, remember where you saw it first.
