Mind Your Head
Parker T. Hall Houghtaling, 23, was waiting for a train in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., when he apparently leaned out too far to look at the incoming train. It hit him in the head. He was hospitalized in stable condition. A reporter who checked news archives found that three years ago, Houghtaling was waiting for a subway train in Manhattan, leaned out, and was struck by that train, too, breaking his nose and injuring his shoulder. Houghtaling confirms that he was the man hit on both occasions, but couldn’t answer many questions about the most recent case because he can’t remember much of what happened. (Poughkeepsie Journal) ...Plausible, considering he didn’t remember the lesson from the first time.
