TRUE? (added 02/06/2001)
A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the
kitchen.

The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it accidentally slipped
into gear.The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged through
the glass patio doors and along with the motorcycle dumped onto the floor
inside the house.

The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room and found her husband
lying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to him, and
the shattered patio door. The wife ran to the phone and summoned the
ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the
several flights of stairs to the street to escort the paramedics to her
husband.

After the ambulance arrived and transported the man to the hospital, the
wife up righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. seeing that gas was
spilled on the floor, the wife got some paper towels, blotted up the
gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.

The man was treated and released to come home.

Upon arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage
done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down
on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he
flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while seated.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard the loud explosion and her husband
screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying 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 to call the ambulance.

The very same paramedic crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the
street. The paramedics loaded the husband on to 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 slipped and tipped the stretcher, dumping the
husband out.

He fell down the remaining stairs and broke his arm.
