When your luck is out...

it's really out, although it can give rise to one of the funniest headlines I've seen in a long time.

Man hit by lightning, then mauled by bear

NORTH CAROLINA - Some guys have all the luck.

Then there's Rick Oliver, who might be one of the unluckiest men in the world.

A bear mauled Oliver in his front yard a few weeks ago. "It was like getting struck by lightning," he said.

And for Oliver, 51, the two incidents seem to go hand in hand.

Oliver was struck by lightning in 2006, and ever since then he's had trouble sleeping.

In the wee hours of June 3 he was in his yard fixing up his Chevy Malibu when he was dealt a heavy blow. "I heard this strange huffing," Oliver said. "And the next thing I know, I had been run over and stepped on by a bear."

Nature 2, Oliver 0.

Bad luck?
He was struck by lightning in '06. In the four years between that and the bear attack he could have been getting constant blowjobs, lottery wins, free pizzas and some sort of maid to cook and clean for him. Hell he could have been trying to bang that bear. Plus he was in a bear attack and can still talk about it. TBH I'd say the **** is lucky to be alive.

He survives a lightening strike and a bear attack and he's the unluckiest man in the world?
Glass half empty, methinks.
