So you've had 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. A 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 repeatedly with an axe leaving her mentally retarded.
3.
In 1992, Frank Perkins of Los Angeles made an attempt on the world
flagpole-sitting record. Suffering from the flu he came down eight hours short
of the 400 day record, his sponsor had gone bust, his girlfriend had left him
and his phone and electricity had been cut off.
4.
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.
5.
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.......
6.
Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter
There now! Your day's not so
bad, is it?
