Just when you think it can not get worse, life shows you that it can!!!

The following was 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 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 paper 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.
