<p>Mity: + Czech joke on the same theme</p> <hr /> <div>The title text is essentially the beginning of the hanging paradox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unexpected_hanging_paradox<br /> :It's not quite the same thing. The unexpected hanging paradox only applies when you have a measure of foreknowledge. [[User:Davidy22|Davidy22]] ([[User talk:Davidy22|talk]]) 05:50, 26 September 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> I think there's also a strong indication that this is mocking cop films from the 80's/90's, such as Lethal Weapon, where a character would always die just before retirement.<br /> --[[Special:Contributions/46.246.31.111|46.246.31.111]] 07:08, 26 September 2012 (UTC)<br /> <br /> This one is a variant of the old Czech joke: &quot;The study has proved that statistically the most casualties happen in the last car of a train. Therefore the committee suggests to make all trains one car shorter.&quot; --[[User:Mity|Mity]] ([[User talk:Mity|talk]]) 09:59, 26 September 2012 (UTC)</div>
