In case you were having a bad day
…
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. Exactly one minute later, in full view, they
were both 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 needling, he snapped and beat her
with an axe leaving her mentally retarded.
3. A woman 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. Until that moment he had been happily listening to his
Walkman.
4. 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 finally…….
5. 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.
Your day’s not so bad, is it?
