Having a bad day?
Next time you think you're having a bad day, read this...
1. 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 released back into the wild amid cheers and
applause from onlookers. A minute later they both were eaten by a killer
whale.
2. A psychology student in New York rented out her spare room to a
carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study his reactions.
After weeks of nagging, he snapped and beat her repeatedly with an ax
leaving her mentally retarded.
3. In 1992, Frank Perkins of Los Angeles made an attempt on the world
flagpole - sitting record. Suffering from the flu he came down eight hours
short of the 400 day record, only to find that his sponsor had gone bust,
his girlfriend had left him and his phone and electricity had been cut off.
4. A women 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. Till that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman.
5. Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending
pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn. Suddenly the pigs, all two thousand of
them, escaped through a broken fence and stampeded, trampling the two
hapless protesters to death.
And the capper.....
6. 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.
Here's hoping your day is better than any of these! Remember - it can
always get worse...
