Not if you're the superbly named Bobby Joe Medlin, who asked for some quality H2O after his little mishap.

The 31-year-old fell asleep on rail tracks in Arkansas and lost his right arm when a train ran over him.

He was found by police officers sitting on a porch near the line, covered in blood.

A firefighter found Mr Medlin's arm about an hour later, but doctors said it was too damaged to be re-attached.</P></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/70CA8466-A955-47C0-8C96-8F50FA62EBB6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
