Two employees in a Kentucky rail
road shop thought 1t would be good
joke to initiate one of their fellow
workmen. One held the victim while
the other forced an air hose into his
mouth and turned on a ninety pound
pressure. 1t was funny to see the man
writhing in the grasp of his fortunes
but not SO funny when he fell over
unconscious and died a few minutes
later. The practical joker will have
much to answer for in the hereafter.
