Something to think about the next time you're having a bad
day (this was an article in the CALIFORNIA EXAMINER, March 20,
1998):
Fire Authorities in California found a corpse in a burnt
out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a
forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet
suit, complete with a dive tank, flippers, and face mask. A
post-mortem examination revealed that the person died not
from burns but from massive internal injuries. Dental
records provided a positive identification.
Investigators then set about determining how a
fully-clad diver ended up in the middle of
a forest fire. It was revealed that, on the day of the
fire,the person went for a diving trip off the coast-some 20
miles away from the forest.
The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as
possible, called in a fleet
ofhelicopters with very large buckets. The buckets were
dropped into the ocean for rapid filling, then flown to the
forest fire and emptied.
You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper
in the Pacific, the next he was doing a breaststroke in a fire
bucket 300 feet in the air. Apparently, he extinguished
exactly 5'10" of the fire.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
HAVING A BAD DAY? THINK AGAIN.
So you think you're having a bad day. 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
handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door
and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside
the house.
The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room,
and found her husband laying on the floor, cut and
bleeding,the motorcycle laying next to him and the patio door
shattered. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an
ambulance. 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 up righted the motorcycle
and pushed it outside. Seeing that gas had spilled on the
floor, the wife obtained some papers towels, blotted 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 her husband laying on the floor. His
trousers had been blown away and he was suffering 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...
