HOW POLITE

Kudos to Truman Duncan. The rail yard worker who was cut in two by a train in Cleburne was exceedingly kind to the 911 operator he called. From the story:

In a tape of the 911 call, Duncan tells the operator, “I need 911… I think I’m cut in two.”

“Someone got run over?” the operator asks.

“It was me,” Duncan responds. “I guess I’m going into shock. Hurry up, ma’am, because I’m about to pass out.”
