Train Rash

Fargo, North Dakota, September 22, 2008:

Police say a man who wanted his picture taken next to a moving train suffered "train rash" but no serious injuries when he got too close to the train.

Police Sgt. Jeff Skuza said the mustached man and two friends were in Fargo for a conference. He said they went around the security gates at a train crossing so he could have his picture taken.

Police records indicate that the man is none other than Ronatarian presidential candidate Ron.

Skuza said Ron thought the picture would be better if he got closer to the train. But he stumbled and the train caught his back, ripping his shirt and pants. Skuza called it "a bad case of train rash." He also said alcohol was a factor.

Skuza said Ron was treated and released from an area hospital.
