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 lying
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
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 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
his 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
ankle.
So, "Is your day as bad as you think?"
