    21 December 1997, Texas
    A Dallas man who was exposing himself to passing traffic died Friday night. Police were alerted by a motorist who had spotted Richard Hollis, 47, standing naked on a railroad trestle. When officers arrived, Hollis was standing under the trestle, still naked. As officers approached, he grabbed his clothes and ran back onto the railroad trestle. He leapt from the trestle, apparently aiming for a concrete support underneath, but missed and fell 35 feet to the ground. He died at Parkland hospital an hour later.

    Poor Richard :pac:

    Ok, I'll not read it now. But I don't think I'll have access to this thread when the need to read it presents itself.

    If you wear the right clothes you can jump from 2,400 feet without a parachute like Gary Connery.
