Genius Commuter |
| Description: |
Captain Idiot tries to board his train from the wrong side of the tracks. After failing to figure out how to get on with the doors closed, he knew standing right in the middle of the tracks was the best idea. Lucky for him the eastbound freight was moving slow, and the guy was not caught between trains. |
