THE NEXT TIME YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY: 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 facemask. A post-mortem revealed that the person 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 person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 miles from the forest. The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean and then flown to the forest fire and emptied. 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.
---------------------------------- .. . . . ..A woman
came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what
looked like a 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 by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Until that moment he had
been happily listening to his Walkman.
----------------------------------- .. . . .. Two
animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a
slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly the pigs, all two thousand of them,
escaped through a broken fence and stampeded, trampling the two hapless
protesters to death.
----------------------------------- And finally...
Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It
came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he
opened it and was blown to bits. Now, your day's not so bad, is it?
NOW, GO HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!
