    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
    post-mortem 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 clothed 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,
    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
    Walkman.

    STILL think you're having a bad day?
    Two animal rights protesters were protesting at
    the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany.
    Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a
    broken fence,stampeding madly. The two hopeless protesters were
    trampled to death.

    What?! STILL having a bad day??
    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. There now,feeling better?
