Sure it wasn't industrial disease?

"Dear Sirs:

It has come to my attention that many aspects of this so-called 'Industrial Revolution' seek to vigourously enhazard the working class yeomen who constitute the muscle and sinew of our Great Empire. I believe it would be a capital idea if the Gentlemen of the Ruling Classes would exercise some level of care with regard to the working conditions of their lessers. While certain members of low society are expendable in the name of Progress, we must be mindful that they are not an inexhaustible resource.

God Save the Queen!

It is believed the man, aged in his 40s, reached into the driver's side of the truck and turned on the ignition when it rolled forward, pinning him to a wall about 8.25pm (AEDT).

Nothing fishy at all here.

Must have gotten his mustache caught in the gears....

I am still trying to imagine this scenario? Does not seem possible. I am confused.

KID FOR SALE!

*ding* *ding*

KID FOR SALE!

We are not amused.

Trying to troubleshoot the truck by himself, and he didn't realize it was in gear?

Also" shouldn't it be "Victoria man", not "Victorian man"?

Oh I get that. Just trying to imagine him somehow in front of the truck and being able to reach in and start it. Even a truck that is flat in the front you would think he would be hanging on to the windshield wipers to stay up there. And have really long arms.

Good Behavior Day: One on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle?

I agree wholeheartedly Good Sir. Without the working class, who would we use to satisfy outrageous wagers concerning the presentment of these working yeomen under the auspices of proper gentlemen and ladies.

I don't know. Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that's all. I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition!
