The
Next Time You Think You are Having a Bad Day
Fire
authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of a forest
while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed
in a full et suit, complete with SCUBA tanks on his back, flippers, and face
mask.
A
postmortem revealed that the person died not from burns, but from massive
internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification.
Investigators
then set about to determine 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 of
helicopters with very large dip buckets.
Water was dipped from the ocean 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 the breast stroke in a fire dip 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 !

STILL
THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY?
A
man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the kitchen.
The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it accidentally slipped
into gear. The man, still holding on to the, handle, rs, was dragged through the
glass patio
doors 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
shattered patio door. 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 stairs to the street to escort the paramedics to her husband.
After
the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the hospital, the wife
uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Seeing that gas was spilled on
the floor, the wife got some paper towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw
the towels in the toilet. The husband was treated and released to come home.
Upon arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to
his motorcycle. He became despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down 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 the loud explosion
and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying
or. 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 to call the ambulance.
The
very same paramedic 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 slipped
and tipped the stretcher, dumping the husband out. He fell down the remaining
stairs and broke his arm.
