Think you're having a bad day?

Be grateful you're not one of the members of the Molokai High School Class of 1986 Reunion Committee who were having a laulau, rice and salad fundraiser last week in Ho'olehua. The good thing is no lives or property was lost in the accident. The look of people in the area who were draped in laulau...PRICELESS.

This would be hysterical if it wasn't so potentially dangerous. I laughed anyway! And, where were the photos? I want photos!!! I can see one now, full page in one of the beautiful Hawaiian Islands pictorial coffee table books! ...only in Hawaii!

Someone really needs to compose a mele and choreograph a hula to commemorate this, maybe for Merrie Monarch. Chinky Mahoe? Puakea Nogelmeier? Whee-ha!

If you ever come across bad news, consider the following:

THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY?

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased
male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back,
flippers and a face mask.

A post-mortem test revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving
off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to
control the fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean
and emptied at the site of the forest fire.

You guessed it! One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300
feet in the air. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.


STILL THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY?

A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally slipped into
gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along as it
burst through the glass patio doors.

His wife, hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle and the shattered patio door. She called for an
ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down the
several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to her husband.

While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife managed to right the
motorcycle and push it outside. She also quickly blotted up the spilled gasoline with some paper towels and tossed them into the toilet.

After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He went into
the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to his
business. About to stand, he flipped the butt between his legs.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers blown
away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again phoned for an
ambulance. The same paramedic crew was dispatched.

As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped, the stretcher dumping the husband out. He fell down the remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

STILL HAVING A BAD DAY? JUST REMEMBER, IT COULD BE WORSE...................

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 being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both.

STILL THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY?

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically,
almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of 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, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that minute, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

STILL THINK YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY?

Two animals rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, German. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two hapless protesters were trampled to death.

I love those folks. I didn't feel like researching each one, though they were all suspect --- thanks, Lurkah!
