* While motorcycling through the Hungarian countryside, Cristo Falatti
came up to a railway line just as the crossing gates were coming down.

While he sat idling, he was joined by a farmer with a goat, which the
farmer tethered to the crossing gate.  A few moments later a horse and
cart drew up behind Falatti,followed in short order by a man in a
sports car. When the train roared through the crossing, the horse
startled and bit Falatti on the arm.  Not a man to be trifled with,
Falatti responded by punching the horse in the head. In consequence
the horse's owner jumped down from his cart and began scuffling with
the motorcyclist. The horse which was not up to this sort of
excitement, backed away briskly, smashing the cart into the sports
car.  At this, the sports-car driver leaped out of his car and joined
the fray. The farmer came forward to try to pacify the three flailing
men. As he did so, the crossing gates rose and his goat was strangled.
At last report, the insurance companies were still trying to sort out
the claims.
