> Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of

> was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back,
> flippers, and facemask. A post-mortem revealed that the person died not
> from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a
> positive identification.
>
> Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up
in

> the person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 miles from the
> forest. The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as
> possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets.
> Water was dipped from the ocean and then flown to the forest fire and
> emptied.
>
> You guessed it.
> One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next he
was

> A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the

> accidentally slipped into gear.
>
> The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged through the glass
> patio doors 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
> lying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to him,
and
> the shattered patio door. The wife ran to the phone
> and summoned the ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the
> wife went down the several flights of stairs to the street to escort the
> paramedics to her husband.
>
> After the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the hospital, the
> wife up righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Seeing that gas was
> spilled on the floor, the wife got some paper towels, blotted up the
> gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.
>
> The man was treated and released to come home. Upon arriving home, he
looked
> at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle.
>
> He became despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down on the toilet and
> smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between
his
> legs into the toilet bowl while seated.
>
> The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard the loud explosion and her husband
> screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying 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 to call the ambulance. The very same
> paramedic crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street. The
> paramedics loaded the husband on to 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
> slipped and tipped the stretcher, dumping the husband out. He fell down
the
> remaining stairs and broke his arm.

from

> 4). . . . .A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking

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

Walkman.

two
