A Bad Day
The following was 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 uprights
the motorcycle and pushes it outside. Seeing that gas had spilled
on the floor, the wife obtained some paper 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 lying 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 's a bad day!
