 OY, WHAT A FANTASY

CHICAGO, IL (DPI) - Tragedy struck the Cohen family this Hanukah, 
when after draining a few too many glasses of Manishevitz, Matthew
Cohen and his friends engaged in a deadly game of Dungeons and 
Dreidels on the streets of Chicago.  Cohen, believing himself to be
a character known as "Mordechai the Magnificent," apparently spun a
twelve-sided dreidel which then ordered him to "attack the 
meshugnah monster already."  Taking the role-playing-game too 
seriously, in his drunken state, Cohen climbed on to an elevated 
train platform and attempted to subdue a passing train.  According 
to witnesses, Cohen called out, "You want you should have a piece 
of me?!  You should only be so lucky, foul beast!!"  He then leapt 
in front of the train and was killed.  One friend and fellow 
participant told police, "That's the chance you take when you spin 
the dreidel.  Sometimes you have to pay the price.  Next year, 
we'll just play for chocolate coins."
