It’s a PSA about train safety but it’s worth watching for its own sake.

My kids showed it to me months ago. Best part is how all of the hapless figures appear together for the chorus. My favorite one is the guy in the dryer, spinning around.

Not so bad recently, but a few years ago the RR crossing guards would go down,
and stay down,
and stay down,
and stay down,
and stay down,
With no trains around.
If they didn’t want people to drive around the damn things, why did they make it so you can?

Hey, the previous thread I started before this one was about who the Confederacy should choose as its President. If you want topical threads look elsewhere.
