My ex-husband and his annoying habit
of bringing greasy old carburetors and things into the house to work on.
So last week when my friend called me to tell me this story, my first
response was "Where does this guy live?"
Now reassured that i was not related
to him by marriage, this is too hilarious not to share.
The way my friend told it, this guy
pushed his motorcycle from the patio into the living room, where he
began to clean the engine with some rags and a bowl of gasoline. When he
finished he sat on the motorcycle and decided to start it to make sure
everything was still ok. Unfortunately the bike started in gear and
crashed through the glass patio door with him still clinging to the
handlebars
His wife had been working in the
kitchen. She came running at the noise and found him crumpled on the
patio badly cut from the shards of broken glass. She called 911 and the
paramedics transported the guy to the emergency room
So far the story is humorous----in
what you get for being a big lout for bringing your motorcycle into the
house, but here is where i really split a gut.
Later that afternoon after many
stitches, had pulled her husband back together, the wife brought him
home and put him to bed. she cleaned up the mess in the living room and
dumped the bowel of gasoline in the toilet
Shortly thereafter her husband woke
up, lit a cigarette, and went into the bathroom. he sat down and tossed
the cigarette into the toilet which promptly exploded because his wife
had not flushed the gas away. The explosion blew the man through the
bathroom.
The wife heard the explosion and her
husbands screams. she ran into the hall and found him lying on the floor
with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks. The wife again
ran to the phone and called the ambulance.
The same two paramedics were
dispatched to the scene. They loaded the husband on the stretcher and
became carrying him to the street.
One of them asked the wife how the
injury had occurred. When she told them, they began laughing so hard
that they dropped the stretcher and broke the guy's collarbone.
Talk about instant karma.
