The following is taken from a Florida newspaper:

A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was
in the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the
motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The
man, still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass
patio door and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the
floor inside the house.

The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room, and found
her husband laying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle
laying next to him and the patio door shattered. The wife
ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance. Because they lived on a
fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of
long steps to the street to direct the paramedics to her husband.
After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the
hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside.
Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some
papers towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in
the toilet.

The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come
home. After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door
and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent,
went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette.
After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into
the toilet bowl while still seated.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her
husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her
husband laying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and
he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and
his groin. The wife again ran to the phone and called for an
ambulance.

The same ambulance crew was dispatched and the wife met them at
the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and
began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the
stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the
paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself.

She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one
of them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out. He fell down
the remaining steps and broke his arm.

Now THAT is a bad day!
