So, You're Having a Bad Day??? Well....

Read on.

Think you are having a bad day? These are good, take a minute to read.
Check out these actual cases.

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out
section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The
deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks
on his back, flippers, and face mask. A postmortem test revealed that
the man 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 man went diving
off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking
to control the fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of
helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean
and emptied at the site of the forest fire. 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. Some days it
just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Still think you're having a bad day?

A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio,
his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine,
the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear.
The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was
dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors. His wife,
hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding,
the motorcycle, and the shattered patio door. She called for an
ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down
the several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to
her husband. While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife
managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside. She also quickly
blotted up the spilled gasoline with some paper towels and tossed them
into the toilet.

After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the
shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He went into
the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to
his business. About to stand, he flipped the butt between his legs. The
wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband
screaming. Finding him lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers
blown away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once
again phoned for an ambulance. The same paramedic crew was
dispatched. As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs
to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn
himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped,
tipping the stretcher and dumping the husband out. He fell down the
remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

Still having a bad day?
Just remember, it could be worse...

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil
spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most
expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid
cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a
killer whale ate them both.

Still think you are having a bad day?

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking
frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running
from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away
from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood,
breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily
listening to his Walkman.

yeah you aint kidding some days are worst than others!!

Jazz,

Thanks for taking the time to share those stories with me I think that while we may not see eye to eye on somethings that perhaps we will turn out to be virtual friends after all. I very seldom have "bad days" I expected to see a story in the listing
about a Gringo seeking a wife in all the wrong places but perhaps that is yet to come.

I really have gotten a kick out of the replies that I have received over the last few weeks seeing how I am basically confined to the house and not able to get around until I have properly healed just being able to communicate with you all has allowed me to retain some measure of sanity.

Thanks, Isaac, getting one step closer to running away to the Dominican Repubic.

Anybody who believes the first story needs to have their head examined. They don't use Salt water to put out fires!
The 2nd story is based on a true story of the exploding toilet
the 3rd story is urban legend even though I wish it was true
The 4th story? Sounds stupid enough to be true!
