So you think you're having a bad day?
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 ankle.
