Anthony Sadler, one of the three Americans awarded France's top civilian honor for stopping a heavily armed man from shooting up a train from Amsterdam, was on The Tonight Show on Tuesday to tell what happened. It's a pretty amazing story, and Sadler told Jimmy Fallon he could recount it all day. One of the details really struck Fallon, however: "We were having so much fun in Amsterdam, we almost stayed," Sadler said, explaining why he and his two friends were very nearly not on the train.
Get it? They had been in Amsterdam? They were asleep on the train? If not Fallon sort of beat the inference to death, singing reggae in case the ganja vibe wasn't clear enough. He went on with the innuendo for so long that Sadler's laughter started to get a little polite. Check out Sadler's heroic tale, and Fallon's attempts to... lighten the mood? Peter Weber
