Bad Day

The following 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 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
arm.

Now, THAT is a bad day
