Enjoy this one!
SO YOU STILL THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY? THINK AGAIN.
The following is taken from a Florida newspaper:
A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and
his wife was in the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the
engine
on the motorcycle and
somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man,
still holding the handle bars, was dragged through a glass patio door
and
along with the motorcycle was dumped onto the floor inside the house.
The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room where she found
her
husband lying on the floor, cut and bleeding; the
motorcycle lying next to him; and the patio door shattered.
The wife ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance.
And, because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down
the
several flights of long steps to the street to direct the paramedics
to
her husband.
After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the
hospital,
the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it
outside. Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained
some papers
towels, plotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.
The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come
home.
After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the
damage
done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went into the bathroom,
sat
on the toilet and smoked a cigarette.
After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into
the
toilet bowl while still seated. The wife, who was in
the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. She
ran
into the bathroom and found him lying on the floor. His trousers had
been
blown away and he had sustained burns on the buttocks, the back of
his legs and his groin.
The wife again ran to the phone and called for an
ambulance.
The same ambulance crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the
street.
The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying
him to
the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street
accompanied
by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had
burned
himself. She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard,
one of
them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out. He fell down
the
remaining steps and broke his arm.
Now THAT is a bad day.
