Put your right foot in
Take your right foot out
Put your right foot in
And let the train run it over. . .

Dude! This is one messed up story on the Mainichi website:

Train jumper loses right foot after botched suicide bid

MATSUDO, Chiba — A man lost his right foot after jumping in front of an oncoming train at a railway station here late Tuesday night in an apparent attempted suicide, police said.

At around 11:30 p.m., the man jumped onto the tracks of the JR Joban Line at Kitakogane Station in Matsudo, and was hit by a train pulling into the station, local police said. His right foot was severed at the ankle and he remains in serious condition.

Following the accident, 18 trains on the line were delayed by up to 42 minutes, inconveniencing approximately 15,000 passengers, the railway operator said.

Not only does he not kill himself, he causes 15000 innocent people to be late for their jobs, school, etc. What a jerk!
