thought you had a bad day!

this would make you be glad about a broken finger nail. lol

I kinda have my doubt's about this story. EMT's would generally ask what happened at the beginning of treatment so they know what all they should check for. And stretchers have wheels so it's hard to drop someone unless you're going down stairs.

Just laugh this is funny. No need to analyze it just laugh. ROTFL

The way I heard this joke was a woman and a stuck hairspray nozzle. She shot the remaining can in the toilet. Hubby shows for his morning constitutional, throws lit match tween his legs into toilet and wakes up in the hospital w/burns and broken collarbone.

Its still funny.....don t. ....

I heard a similar variation over 40 years ago. Idea is still funny tho, and yes, some moron would try just that.

Or maybe you're the type who would work on mechanical things in the house.

I call foul! The lady is fabricating.

Guess city people have never thrown a lit cigarette in an open 5-gallon pail of gasoline before. Liquid gasoline just flat will not ignite this way.

But hey! Don’t take my word for it; give it a try.

Does nobody else watch Mythbusters? They busted this one in season 1...

this is one time i have to agree with allan when i was in viet nam work on 0-1 bird dogs recon air planes was cleaning a wheel bearing with av-gas west point officer 2louie comes buy gets in my a about smoking next to a small bucket of av-gas so i said ok pitched the smoke in the bucket just put it out like water, officer runs into the office building to the capt who was ex first sargent who went to OCS to become a pilot. the capt just ask him what he was doing massing with the mechanic any way told him to stay away form the guy who made sure there planes were in good flying shape if any thing he should buy us all a beer . now when your 19 in a war zone one don't care much,, but now i probably think twice well i wouldn't do it now one never know it might just explode.

Yup, saw that one. A lot of ole tyme mechanics (one in particular I knew) always used to have a cigarette hanging out their mouths, even when working with/around gasoline. You need a spark or open flame to ignite gas.

Yep my boss would cut a gas line with a die tool,sparks flying everywhere and he never lit a gas line or gas tank in 30 years.
The same guy with a cig in his mouth can light up a battery and blow it to he11, all a battery needs is a spark.

I"ve heard this same story for years.

Maybe because he was medicated, he looked down and thought he saw a cigarette and tried to light it, and after discovering that it wasn't a cigarette, he jumped through the door?

Who would put a lit match anywhere close to down there anyway? Jim

Your life must be a barrel of laughs.

its nothing to play with,but there right about the cigarette and gas,don't under estimate the flammability part especially vapors,one cool morning me and another fellow were working on a truck drive shaft when the boss rounded the corner complaining as to why a pile of card board boxes 4 ft high about 10 ft across had not been burnt,after getting scolded the coworker picked up a small can of saw gas wet the pile with 1/2 gal or so, made a little trail off from the pile and thru a match in it about the time the boss returned around the corner,it mushroomed like an atomic blast,pile jumped about a ft of the ground pressure blew off the old mans hat he did fall into cussing about it,meanwhile i was under the out of breath from laughing at the two of them,i still highly respect what can happen with highly flammable liquids they can become deadly if your get careless with them,was told of a man changing a fuel pump,some gas had spilled on the concrete floor when removing the pump ,as he rolled from under the car he knocked a drop light off the frame ,when it hit the floor it set the ignited the gas sending him to a burn center in critical condition

Not trying to steal anyones thread but a friend sent this story to me a long time ago. I don't know if it's true but it is still funny.

Subject, Bad day at the office.




thought LOGISTICS was tough


If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a
coma

This is even funnier when you realize it's real! Next time you
have
a bad day at work ... think of this guy. Rob is a commercial
saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana . He performs underwater
repairs on offshore drilling rigs Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to
radio station
103.2 on FM dial in Ft. Wayne , Indiana , who was sponsoring a
worst job
experience contest. Needless to say, she won


Hi Sue, Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been
feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with

you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can
tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few
technicalities of my job

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a
suit to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is
quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this.
We have a diesel powered industrial water heater.

This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea.
It heats it to a delightful temperature and then pumps it down to the
diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose.

Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several
times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start
working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This
floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started
to itch
So, of course, I scratched it
This only made things worse

Within a few seconds my butt started to burn I pulled the hose
out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had
happened . The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it
into my suit.
Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish
couldn't stick to it

However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually
grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt.
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the
communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers were all laughing hysterically

Needless to say I aborted the dive

I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression
stops
totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to
begin my chamber dry decompression

When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my
brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter
running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it
on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but
I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut.

So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how
much worse
it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt
Now repeat to yourself

"I love my job, I love my job, I love my job

Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, Is this a
jellyfish bad day

May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!

ya, the guys working the gasoline barges used to put out their cigarettes by throwing them into puddles of gasoline. In the open air, where no vapors can accumulate, it won't explode.
