Joke: Having a Bad Day?

[Eric Thelin <eric@generation-i.com>]

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 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 uprighted 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.....
