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 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 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... FEEL
BETTER? Have a nice day!
