If you really want to hear it, fine. It isn't the longest story, but it was strange and almost resulted in the death of a quite stubborn man.

A while back, about two, three years ago, I went on a sort of pseudo-vacation thing to Tennessee, to see my other grandparents (my dad's family). They lived in a somewhat small town, had railroad zig-zagging through it. Not many stores, just one Walmart or whatever, but that's beside the point. My grandparent's house was situated right next to one of the railroads. What happened one day was that passing through to get to the big store to resupply was a pretty large delivery van, filled with Tastycakes, Twinkies, all that stuff.

Broke down right on the railroad. Guy driving tried to fix it, and there was a train coming. Bad situation, really. Thankfully he gave up before he got ran over, but the van? Not so lucky. The aftermath looked like some fat kid who just ate a bunch of sweets exploded. Cream and other filling all over the ground, on some of the houses too (including my grandparents), it was quite the mess. Apparently the train's front was also covered, they had to stop somewhat uddenly because of it to clean up all the cream covering the driver's window.
