Are You Having A Bad Day? (10/22/07)
If you are having a bad day just read the following true story about someone who had a really bad day and think of him and how fortunate you are today.
Don't Laugh.
This guy pushed his motorcycle from the patio into his living room, where he began to clean the engine with some rags and a bowl of gasoline. When he finished, he sat on the motorcycle and decided to start it to make sure everything was OK. Unfortunately, the bike started in gear, and crashed through the glass patio door with him still clinging to the handlebars.
His wife had been working in the kitchen. She came running at the noise, and found him crumpled on the patio, badly cut from all the broken glass. She called 911, and the paramedics transported the guy to the emergency room.
So far the story is humorous - in a "that is what you get for being a big lout to bring your motorcycle into the house" kind of way.
But here is where it gets to be a gut splitter.
Later that afternoon, after many stitches had pulled her husband back together, the wife brought him home and put him to bed. She cleaned up the mess in the living room, and dumped the bowl of gasoline in the toilet.
Shortly thereafter, her husband woke up, lit a cigarette, and went to the bathroom. He sat down and tossed the cigarette into the toilet, which promptly exploded because the wife forgot to flush the gasoline when she dumped it in the toilet. The explosion blew the man through the bathroom door.
The wife heard the explosion and her husband's screams. She ran into the hall and found him lying on the floor with his pants blown away and the burns on his butt. The wife again called 911.
The same two paramedics were dispatched to the scene. They loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. One of the paramedics asked the wife how the injury had occurred. When she told them, they began laughing so hard that they dropped the stretcher, and broke the guy's collarbone.
What a day.
